MENOMONIE, Wisc. (July 9) - Chad Mahder and Jason Forehand were among four drivers that qualified Friday night at the Red Cedar Speedway for the AMSOIL WISSOTA Race of Champions event to be held at the Dakota State Fair Speedway in Huron South Dakota in September. Other feature winners tonight were Kevin Adams, Mark Gerth and Jordan Johnson.
Mahder's win in the Late Model feature was a relatively easy one as he led all the way and was only challenged early and not for long. Chad jumped off the pole and took the early lead over Ashley Anderson and Brent Larson with Cory Mahder also quickly moving in. Cory was working the low side and he drove past Anderson and then pulled beside Larson as they fought for the second spot. Meanwhile, running the high side, Chad was in the process of pulling away from the field.
Larson and Cory Mahder put on a good battle for second as they ran side by side for several laps until Cory got into the wall under the flag stand and ground to a halt, triggering the only yellow of the event. Chad pulled away again on the restart but suddenly it was Scott Gilberts on the charge. After starting eighth, he worked the low side into fourth and on the restart was able to jump past a whole row of cars and challenge Larson for second. Continuing his advance, he ducked under Brent and took over the second spot and for a few laps was even cutting into the lead of Chad. However, that eventually stabilized, and with no yellow flag opportunities to close up, Chad ran home uncontested for his third win of the year here. Behind Gilberts and Larson, it was Jake Hartung with a good advancement to fourth and Mike Prochnow to complete the top five.
