"The Real Deal" Unstopable At Madison Mid-Am Super Truck Feature
OREGON, WI -- Mark "The Real Deal" Storlie took advantage of Todd
Schmitz's misfortune to win the Mid-Am Super Truck 35-lap feature race Friday
night before a large crowd at Madison International Speedway in Oregon, WI.
Schmitz, in his first Mid-Am Series appearance of the year and second overall,
had a comfortable lead on lap 19 when some spark plug wires caught fire on his
Chevrolet and he was forced to pull into the infield where the track safety
crew quickly doused the flames and the race continued.
Dan Chesmore, a former late model champion at the Jefferson Speedway, took
over the lead for two laps before being overhauled by Tony Holm.
Holm led until the 30th circuit when Storlie squeezed inside and pulled away
to an eight-truck length win. Holm was second followed by new
track record holder Vincent Wilkinson, former series champion Donnie Woller
and Madison International Speedway point leader Dann Barber.
Schmitz took the lead from the outset. The only wreck of the event occurred
on lap four when Missouri driver Ricky Archer made contact with the
backstretch wall. Archer was not injured, but his super truck was done
for the evening.
The next appearance by the super trucks will be Tuesday night, Aug. 2 at
Wisconsin International Raceway in the "Tuesday Night
Shootout". The super trucks will take on the Mid-American Stock
Cars in a 30-lap Royal Rumble feature along with the 44-lap B & B
Race Engines Late Model Shootout for the Wally Jors Memorial Cup and the
American Stock Car League 150. Qualifying begins at 4 p.m. with racing
at 7:15 p.m.
