Spoonmore Scoops Up Win At MIS In Mid-Ams
OREGON, WI --Jeremy Spoonmore scooped up the victory in the 40-lap
Mid-American Stock Car Series feature before a good crowd Friday night at the
Madison International Speedway in Oregon, WI.
Miller drove the Farley Automotive Monte Carlo to a six-car length win over
series point leader and two - time champion Bill Prietzel in the Performance
Unlimited Monte Carlo.
Apparent third place finish Brad Keith was disqualified in a post-race
inspection due to an engine setback violation.
That moved Jeremy Miller up one notch to third followed by Collin Bamke, Jason
Taghikhani and Scott Null.
"I've never had a car that was this perfect," Spoonmore said.
"I love this place. I always seem to do good here," he said of
the high banked half-mile track.
Bamke was the early leader before Spoonmore dipped inside in turn one on lap
12. Spoonmore had to survive three restarts following caution flag
periods for minor incidents.
Miller was one of three drivers to break the one-lap qualifying record in time
trials. The new mark now stands at 19.184.
The next two races for the Mid-American cars are both at Wisconsin
International Raceway in Kaukauna, WI. The teams will be competing
at the Red, White & Blue State Championship Saturday night, Aug. 23 and
then the top point drivers will be part of the Royal Rumble car vs. super
truck race Tuesday, Aug. 2. That event is held in conjunction with
the ASL 150 and B & B Race Engines Tuesday Night Late Model Shootout.
