MANITOWOC, Wisc. (July 18) - The weather wasn't the only thing that was hot at the Manitowoc County Expo Speedway on Friday night, so was the racing.
In the 25 lap Late Model Feature, Plymouth's Dan Dippel jumped out to the lead for the first 7 laps. Brad Mueller of Random Lake took the lead from Dippel on lap 8. The field was slowed for the spinning car of Dippel on lap 13. Mueller led the pack to the green with the charging Justin Ritchie of New London, who started 12th, finding himself in 3rd. On lap 13, Ritchie moved into 2nd and was reeling in Mueller. Ritchie made his move on Mueller on lap 21 and showed the way to the checkers. Following Ritchie and Mueller to the line was Oostburg's Charlie Schmidt, Ron Berna of Green Bay, and Sheboygan Falls' Tim Carman. Ritchie claimed the extra purse money donated by Baliegh Industrial of Manitowoc and the Chermake "Hot Dog" Hard Charger for passing 11 cars.
