Small field at Willow Springs tonight. Breuning started from the pole and led all the way, while Blake Tschida and newcomer Jo Syslo swapped positions behind him several times. It was Tschida that grabbed 2nd eventually, with Syslo in 3rd on his debut.

Starting from the pole, Breuning took the lead and appeared to be pulling away. On lap 9 however, a back marker missing his braking point send him straight in turn 3. Luckily he survived the ordeal without damage and recovered from 4th place.

Bill Smithem had taken over the lead, which he lost after the pitstop cycle. He did gain on Breuning and ran a strong race, only to clip one of the high curbs and end up in the wall. He limped to the pits and finished 5th. Rafael Rodrigues took 2nd and Mike Erter finished 3rd, Ian Wilson was 4th.

Polesitter Patrick Day stayed up top all race long in the 49s at Milwaukee tonight, which proved to be a handful for everyone. Passing appeared to be tricky on the one mile oval.

Breuning was within a second most of the time but couldn’t make any moves to challenge the leader. Chris Stofer came in third.

Patrick Day started from the pole and seemed in control as Breuning couldn’t get within 0.6 of him. Both drivers knew it would come down to the pitstop and they were right. Being just a tad too fast entering the pitlane, Day was held for a penalty and dropped down the order. Breuning got the lead handed to him and stayed there till the end, followed by Bill Smithem and Rafael Rodrigues.

Breuning started from the pole with Ravon alongside him, but ultimately Breuning got himself in trouble early on and had to take a fast repair along with his victim Danny Passmore.

As the race progressed, several incidents and yellows bunched up the field again. A late yellow took us to a one lap shootout, in which Ravon proved to react the best and keep it up front ahead of Day and Breuning.
