MANITOWOC, Wisc. (May 16) - Pole sitter, Pete Parker of Kaukauna, jumped out to the lead in the 25 lap Late Model feature at Manitowoc County Expo Speedway.  The yellow flag flew for a pile up of cars in turn 2.  After all was cleaned up, Parker took the green but his lead was short lived.  When the cars crossed the line on lap 4, Waukesha's Russ Scheffler was first to cross.  As the field was attempting to complete lap 5, Turk Letizia of Milwaukee lost control of his ride and with no where to go, Green Bay's Ron Berna went up and over the front end of Letizia's car and flipped.  While making sure both drivers were fine and cleaning up the cars, a brief rain shower moved through halting the race for approximately 20 minutes.  When the race was restarted, Scheffler showed the rest of the way to the checkered flag.  Following Scheffler was Jayme Zidar of Greenfield, Appleton's Paul Parker, Dan Sorce of Franklin and Glenbeulah's Tim Buhler.
