Greg Olsen of Round Lake Heights, IL held off a late charge from Jimmy Sivia of Winthrop Harbor, IL to win his first ever feature in the 20-lap AutoMeter Wisconsin WingLess Sprint main.
"I gunned it and was able to keep Jimmy (Sivia) behind me at the finish," said Olsen after his first feature win of any kind in his sophomore season of racing. "I have to thank my family who help in the pits or are backing me in the stands. This is awesome."
Four cautions in the first half of the feature slowed Olsen's progress erasing his advantages keeping the field in close pursuit. Sivia pulled wheel to wheel a couple of times during the final circuits, giving one final charge out of turn four heading for the checkered. Olsen held off second place Sivia for the win by less than a car length. Trevor's Chris Dodd was third. Tim Cox of Park City, IL fourth. Derek Crane of Waukegan, IL fifth.
