Bill would start on the outside of row two in the 4th heat of the IMCA stock cars and the car was hooked up the whole heat race. A tight pack stayed together all fighting for the 4 spots that would transfer to the main feature event.

A charging # 0K fought hard, but 4th place was the position at the checked but this put the Kelsey Racing team into the feature event which is not an easy task.

Starting deep in the field for the IMCA stock car feature, Bill would take it easy for a couple laps to avoid any crashes and it happened on lap 1 with Bill able to miss it.

A couple laps later, it happened again but this time took a little hit in the back from the #77 machine. Little damage was done to the car with Bill being able to stay on track. Back under green and fighting forward the #0K was punted in turns 1 and 2 by the #10S machine sending Bill into a spin with the car stalling.

Getting lined back up and getting the correct spot back didn’t happen, as Bill was placed in the back of the pack with the 10S.

A final lap crash between the #57 and #36 caused the #36 to roll over and Bill avoiding wreck #3 of the night.

Bill was awarded the #14 position while also being hauled off on the hook as the car would not refire from avoiding the 3rd wreck of the night.

All in all, it was a pretty good night as it became a chance to gain some points and puts Bill tied for 9th in the IMCA Stock Car point standings. This is great since Bill is a rookie in this class and is currently the highest placed rookie by points out of the 59 cars total scored at Seymour.

There are 4 more nights of racing left at Seymour Speedway and 1 Special on Labor Day. We thank you again for supporting Kelsey Racing and hope to see you next Sunday Aug 9 with racing starting at 6 PM sharp.

Congratulations go out to #51 Jeremy Wiitala for winning the street stock feature event! This was Jeremy’s 6th feature event win in a row. 3 at Seymour and 3 at Sturgeon Bay.
