The closest finish of the night came in the 20-lap IRA Lightning Sprint feature. Sifting through lapped traffic coming for the checkered flag, Oak Creek's Mark Heinert nipped C.J. Malueg of Johnsburg, IL by less than one foot at the checkered flag. For the second Wilmot main win in a row, it was Heinert the winner and Malueg second. Ion Stear of Hebron, IL was third. Nick Petska of Spring Grove, IL fourth. Pleasant Prarie's Mike Neau fifth.
"The scoreboard said the same thing this week as it did last week," said Heinert, who won his second in a row at Wilmot. "The car was a little tight, but I was able to make it just enough. I knew C.J. was coming. I have to thank my wife and family for all of their support, especially on Family Night."
