Tony Stewart 6th at Wilmot

NASCAR Hall of Famer, Tony Stewart, placed 6th in the All-Star Circuit of Champions Race at Wilmot on Aug 21.

The Indiana native started the 30-lap feature in 11th position, worked his way up to 6th, but could never close the gap on the top five cars. In 2019 Stewart undoubtedly had the fastest car on the track, but spun himself out while leading with two laps to go.

Cory Eliason of Visalia, CA scored the highlight victory. He took the lead 10 laps into the 30 lap main overtaking Oswego’s Blake Nimee. Eliason went on to the win as All Star competitors swept the podium with Ian Madsen of Australia second and Hunter Schuerenberg of Sikeston, MO third.

Scott Ellis of Lake Villa, IL scored his first Wilmot feature win taking top honors leading flag to flag in the Bandit 4-Cylinder Stock Cars. South Milwaukee’s Jacob Balk was able to get along side Ellis a couple of times, but had to settle for second. John Cole of McHenry, IL was third.

Eagle’s Steve Mueller chalked up Modified feature win number three of the season. Mueller and Genoa City’s Nick Simons battled back and forth, exchanging the lead numerous times throughout the last half of the 20-lap main. N. Simons ended up second with Sheboygan’s Joel Seegert third.
Genoa City’s Mike Simons was uninjured after flipping hard in turn one cushion during the early laps of the main, landing upside down.

Pell Lake’s Cody Potter scored his fifth Wilmot street stock feature win of the season. Potter powered into the lead diving to the inside coming out of turn two with less than two laps remaining overtaking Muskego’s Courtney Atkinson Atkinson, who held the lead the previous 18 circuits, ended up second. Pleasant Prairie’s Josh Gehrig was third.

Only two more races remaining in the 2020 season:
