Dishaw sweeps B-Mods at Eagle River Speedway

Ontonagon, Michigan’s Dave Dishaw sprinted into the lead from his pole position and fought off defending champion Jesse Aho in the closing laps to collect the B-Modified feature win at Eagle River Speedway last Tuesday.

With his heat win earlier in the night, Dishaw earned a sweep for the evening. The race was slowed by a caution on lap four when a four-car tangle eliminated the cars driven by Jason Zdroik and Kory Joliff. When racing resumed, Dishaw checked out only to have Aho thread his way through traffic in the final six laps to close the gap on Dishaw. Dishaw took the checkers with Aho settling for runnerup money. Veteran Beetle Bailey posted his best finish of the season in third. Austin Zdroik and Dan Melton placed fourth and fifth, respectively.

Jason Zdroik picked up a caution-free victory in the Late Model feature earlier in the evening.

Eagle River’s David Blackberg squeezed past Jonathan Miller for the lead with five laps remaining in a car borrowed from Jordan Kurtti to win the Stock Car feature.

Sugar Camp’s Jason Eisel continued his dominance in the Street Stock class, capturing the division’s feature win.

Prentice’s Brent Mindock sweated out a lone caution period and kept his lead through a restart and cruised to victory in the Pure Stock feature. Mindock captured his heat race earlier in the evening, earning a clean sweep for the night.

Boulder Junction’s Mya Towne sprinted into the lead at the drop of the green from her pole position and cruised to victory in the 600 Micro Sprint feature.

Hometown driver Mason Meier scored a thrilling, wire-to-wire victory in the 300 Micro Sprints. Meier fought off a race long challenge from Bentley Richer, Blake Joslin and Cooper Aho in the waning laps to collect the win in the caution free event.

Champions will be crowned tonight at Eagle River Speedway. It will be the final night of point racing for the track’s regular divisions. The first green flag flies at 7 p.m.
