Ryan Wins Both Twin 50s At Elko

ELKO, MN -- Jake Ryan, a former regular on the Mid-American Stock Car Series tour, dominated the ACDelco Suuper Summer Series twin 50s for the Midwest AllStar Racing Series Saturday night before a packed grandstand at the Elko Speedway.

Ryan was the quickest qualifier in the 30-car late model field and started tenth in the first 50-lapper.  Ryan quickly sliced through the field and had the lead by lap 18, winning handily over Donny Reuvers and Dean Cornelius.

In the second 50 Jeff Van Oudenhoven and Jon Lemke battled for the lead early in the event along with Andy Hanson and Jonathan Eilen.    Ryan started 18th and immediately went to the outer lane where there was virtually no traffic.   Ryan slipped past all the front runners to take the lead on lap 41.

MARS Series regular Blake Bjorklund had his best Elko Speedway finish ever with a second followed by Lemke and Hanson.

The next MARS late model event is Saturday night, Aug. 13 at Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna, WI where the final leg of the Red, White & Blue State Championship Series will be held.  Due to the fact the first two races were rained out the format for the night will be three 50-lap late model races along with a 30-lap Mid-American Stock Car Series feature and 25-lap limited late model main.  Sizzlin Fours and Figure 8s will also be included along with preliminary races.  Qualifying begins at 5 p.m. with racing at 7 p.m. on the D-shaped half-mile track.
