SHAWANO, Wis. — The Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Ass'n Outlaw Sprint Series made its first visit to Shawano Speedway since 2001, and Travis Whitney claimed the 25-lap event.
Steve Meyer started from the pole as a result of the re-draw, and wasted no time asserting himself as the one to beat, jumping out to an early lead with Donny Goeden challenging Ryan Irwin for the runner- up spot early on.
Meyer continued to lead following a lap-four yellow flag, while Whitney began to challenge Goeden for second. Using the bottom groove, Whitney took second and began chasing the leader. Meanwhile, Scotty Neitzel was making a move at the top of the track.
Whitney used a lap-16 restart to take the lead from Meyer, whose engine began smoking. He retired a lap later.
Billy Balog entered the fray during the final five laps, battling with Goeden and Neitzel, while Whitney checked out from the field.
Balog claimed second at the checkered flag, ahead of Neitzel, Goeden and Kurt Davis.
The finish:
Travis Whitney, Billy Balog, Scotty Neitzel, Donny Goeden, Kurt Davis, Brian Kristan, Todd King, Scott Biertzer, Scott Uttech, Billy Hafemann, Jason Johnson, Scott Young, Russel Borland, Joe Symoens, Dave Uttech, Bill Wirth, Charley Osborn, Steve Meyer, Cainen Riemann, Ryan Irwin, John Haeni, Andy Hunt, Mike Reinke, Billy Warren, Kim Mock.
