to hold onto that second spot, but lost the battle to his
brother Chris Weinkauf on lap 15. Ben Pettis was also able to
complete the pass on Jason a few laps later for third. Tim Hintz
raced hard in the fifth spot after passing Jay VanDerGeest, but
he was unable to pull ahead of Mark Eswein who claimed the fifth
position on lap 24. Gregorich took the checkers first, Chris
Weinkauf second, Pettis third, Eswein fourth and Jason Weinkauf
fifth.
Following that feature were the Miller Time Trials. Blake

the CarQuest Super Stocks. Jeremiah Strauss set fast time for
the 4-cylinders. Dave Knauf took the top honor for the 1-man
cruisers and Kyle Genett with a clean-sweep in the pure stocks.
The first lap of the CarQuest super late model feature was led

the race. Ben Pettis, Jason Weinkauf and Tim Hintz raced in the
top five for several laps. Hintz passed both Weinkauf and Pettis
for the third spot. Eugene Gregroich Jr was on the move again
and into the fifth spot on lap seven. Over the next ten laps
Gregorich advanced through the spots and into second. He took
the lead from Nelson with only four laps remaining. Mark Eswein
was also able to move up during the final laps of the race,
passing Chris Weinkauf for fifth, and then Weinfurter for
fourth. Gregorich took home his second feature win for the
night. Nelson second, Hintz third, Eswein fourth and Weinfurter

lap 12. Fast timer Wes Coon worked his way to the front from his
twelfth place start. Meyer took the lead from Scholl on lap 14.
