Bill Balog and B2 Motorsports: Bill Reels in his 6th Feature Win of the Season at Oshkosh Speedzone
Union Grove, WI – June 25, 2012. Bill Balog and the B2 Motorsports team headed north up Highway 41 to the Oshkosh Speedzone in Oshkosh, WI this past weekend for their 1st of 2 visits to the facility in 2012. Upon arrival to the track, the team was greeted with a track that looked like it would create some fast racing, but proved to be wrong as the surface would dry out quickly in hot laps. Bill would be the 8th car to qualify of the 26 cars on hand and would lay down a lap of 14.138 seconds which would be fast enough for 2nd fastest and would then line up in the 6th starting position on the 2nd heat race. Bill would methodically make his way into the lead with 2 laps to go in the event scoring his series leading 5th heat race win over “Wild Bill” Wirth and Tommy Sexton. The #3 pill was drawn by the quick qualifier lining the 17B sprinter up in the 5th starting position. When the green flag was shown Bill stuck the 17B mount to the bottom of the track and made his way into the runner up position behind leader Mike Kertscher. Bill would stalk Kertscher on the high side of the track waiting to make his move and on lap 13 made his way past Kertscher. The duo would trade slide jobs the next few laps until Kertscher would get up into the marbles allowing Bill to set sail. Caution would fly on Lap 18 for Kertscher who blew a right rear coming into turn 3. Bill would line up for the restart with several lap cars between him and 2nd place running Scott Uttech. When the green was out again, Bill would cruise the next 12 laps nonstop to net his 6th feature win of the 2012 season over Scott Uttech and Bill Warren.

Bill now leads the Interstate Racing Association point standings by 31 markers over 2nd running Mike Reinke. This week on Saturday, June 30th, the team will make their way up to the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth, WI for their 1st of 3 visits to the facility along with MSA 360 sprint cars. Next week the IRA has an off weekend so the B2 Motorsports Team will run with the best as the World of Outlaws will be in the area. On Friday, July 6th, the 17B sprinter will head north to the Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, WI. The following night, Saturday, July 7th, Bill and the team will be at the Beaver Dam Raceway in Beaver Dam, WI to conclude the weekend.
