WILMOT, Wis. — Blake Kreuser put an exclamation point on the Wilmot Raceway Unified Street Stock Championship season by winning the 20-lap feature securing his first ever title.
“It’s been a long time coming,” said Kreuser. “We’re worked hard and really wanted it. It’s such a relief to finally win it, and to do it winning the feature to secure it makes it that much more special. We’re looking forward to coming back for the three-day run (Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sept.19-21 Fall Classic). I can’t wait.”
Robby Olson, who along with Dustin Holland trailed Kreuser by nine points heading into the feature, took the initial lead breaking through a three-wide battle at the drop of the green. Olson maintained the top spot through the first caution on lap nine. On the restart, Olson was involved in a tangle at the front of the field ending up in the infield.
Kreuser escaped the carnage and inherited the top spot. Three laps from the finish and another yellow flag slowed the pace. Two laps from the checkered flag a final yellow flew, but Kreuser was up to the challenge each time. Holland ended finish second in the feature after starting sixth, taking runner-up in the season point standings.
Cody Potter came from 10th to take third. Troy Hensley was fourth. Tim Calanca was fifth.
C.J. Malueg captured his third 20-lap LifePro powered by Gandrud Chevrolet/Hepfner Racing Products Wings 604 Crate Winged Sprints feature of the season leading flag-to-flag.
Derek Crane went on to his first Wilmot win since May, 2021, in the Wisconsin AutoMeter Powered by Gandrud Performance/Wilmot Raceway Catalyst Exhibits WingLESS Sprints 20-lap feature.
