Plymouth Valiant
Long Rain Delay, Track Curfew Can’t Stop IRA’s Mike Reinke
PLYMOUTH, Wis. — Following a one-and-a-half hour rain delay and some valiant efforts by the track crew, Mike Reinke grabbed Saturday night’s Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Ass’n winged sprint-car feature at Sheboygan County Fair Park’s Plymouth Dirt Track.
Battling a strict 11 p.m., curfew, the race was checkered flagged at 10:59 p.m., while the field circled the track under the lone yellow flag of the feature.
Reinke grabbed the lead from rookie Billy Hafemann and was on the point when the call came to wave the checkered flag.
Hafemann finished second, with Brian Kristan, Todd Hepfner and Donny Goeden rounding out the top five.
The finish:
Mike Reinke, Billy Hafemann, Brian Kristan, Todd Hepfner, Donny Goeden, Steve Meyer, Jason Johnson, Bill Warren, Scott Uttech, Scotty Neitzel, Kim Mock, Scott Biertzer, Tim Vandervere, Mike Kertscher, John Haeni, Dave Uttech, Jerry Richert, Jr., Billy Balog, Andy Hunt, Ty Bartz, Joe Symoens, Wayne Modjeski.
