Jolliff dominates Eagle River Speedway B-Mod tilt

Defending track champion Kory Jolliff of Mass City, Mich. stormed into the lead at the drop of the green and wound up winning the B-Modified feature win by more than a full straightaway at Eagle River Speedway last Tuesday. The win was Jolliff’s first of the ’25 campaign at Eagle River.

Jolliff outraced fellow front row starter Charlie Hoffman into the lead of the 20-lap contest and immediately began building up a comfortable cushion over the balance of the field. The race went caution free, and Jolliff skillfully picked his way through lapped cars in the waning circuits.

Jolliff’s lead was significant enough where it left a trio of competitors to scrap for the runner-up spot: Dave Dishaw, Dustin White and Hoffman. When the checkers flew, Dishaw nabbed the bridesmaid spot, with White, George Dalbeck, and Allenton visitor Brad Keith rounding out the top five finishers.

Hermantown, Minnesota’s Cade Nelson made the long four-hour trip pay off, as the defending USRA Late Model national champion picked up the feature win in that class.

Nelson started 10th on the grid in the 20-lap feature, and carefully began picking off cars one-by-one as the contest progressed. Nelson snatched the lead on a late-race restart, whisking past Tomahawk’s Zack Friske, to seal the deal. Stockholm’s Lucas Peterson gave Nelson a challenge in the final laps but his effort came up short. Peterson took second, followed by Jason McFadden, Jesse Aho and Friske.

Pulaski’s Rod Snellenberger passed Ryan Glembin for the lead on Lap 10 and fought off a late-race charge from Dustin White to win the IMCA Stock Car feature. Trailing at the checkers were White, Glembin, Jonathan Miller and Wyler Haynes.

Sugar Camp’s Jason Eisel pulled off a thrilling, last-lap win by passing leader David Blackberg on the final circuit of the Street Stock feature. Blackberg settled for second place money at the pay window, followed by Nick Allard, Hope Eisel and Quentin Morrison.

Phillips Devin Fries survived heavy pressure from Tomahawk’s Trevor Schumann to win the Pure Stock feature.

Stacy, Minnesota’s Tyler Pelofske grabbed the lead on a lap nine restart and cruised to victory in the 600 Micro Sprint feature.

Both 300 Micro Sprint features went caution-free, and were won by Ontonagon, Michigan’s Addison Dishaw and Sheboygan’s Hudson Launer.
