Friday
KANKAKEE, Ill. — Mike Reinke picked up his first Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series victory of the season on Friday by capturing the 25-lap headliner at Kankakee Motor Speedway.
Reinke passed Kim Mock on lap eight to take the lead, followed closely by Travis Whitney. With Reinke on the high side and Whitney hugging the bottom, the duo ran side by side for four laps before the caution waved on lap 12.
With a right-rear tire going down, Whitney spun out on the restart, leaving Reinke all alone out front. Donny Goeden took over second and closed to within three car lengths of Reinke in the closing rounds, but Reinke held on for the victory. Steve Meyer, Scotty Neitzel and Kurt Davis rounded out the top five.
The finish:
Mike Reinke, Donny Goeden, Steve Meyer, Scotty Neitzel, Kurt Davis, Kim Mock, A.J. Burns, Brian Kristan, Scott Biertzer, Robbie Standridge, Billy Haffeman, Scott Young, Ryan Irwin, Tim Vandevere, Scott Uttech, John Haeni, Travis Whitney, Tommy Rockwell, Wayne Modjeski, Jeremy Standridge, Joe Symoens, Joey Moughan.

Saturday
PLYMOUTH, Wis. — Donny Goeden continued his outstanding season by capturing his series-leading fifth Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series main event, winning the 30-lap feature at Sheboygan County Fair Park.
Goeden ran down leader Scott Biertzer as the two encountered lapped traffic, with Goeden taking to the high side and pulling away from the field at a torrid pace.
Mike Reinke moved past Biertzer to take second place, looking for his second victory in as many days. Despite several late yellow flags, Goeden managed to power away to a safe margin, easily beating out Reinke for the victory. Bill Warren came home third, followed by Scotty Neitzel and Biertzer.
