Auto racing: Bellefeuille leads from flag to flag for $10,000 WISSOTA Modified purse
Jul. 3—SUPERIOR — Jody Bellefeuille was the class of the field in a 50-lap WISSOTA Modified feature race on Saturday at Gondik Law Speedway as part of the sixth annual Great Lakes Border Battle weekend.
The Duluth driver led from the start, holding off Don Eischens, as the race went the distance without a caution flag. Bellefeuille stayed on point to the checkered flag, earning a $10,000 payday.
A field of 47 Modifieds took part in the two-day event, joined by 78 more cars across the Super Stocks, Midwest Modifieds, Pure Stock and Hornets divisions.
Eischens took second with Ashley Anderson taking third.
On the other hand, Saturday's Midwest Modified feature had five yellow flags, with a run on cautions late in the 25-lap event. Skeeter Estey started from pole and dueled with Cody Carlson for the top spot. Carlson prevailed, taking the lead from Estey for good on a restart with less than five laps to go. Estey finished second with Andrew Inman third.
Shane Sabaraski put in a dominant performance to win in Super Stock, winning by 11.2 seconds in his fourth victory of the season. In Pure Stock, Cory Jorgensen overcame an early challenge from Tom Treviranus to claim a fourth Border Battle victory.
In the Hornets, Justin Schelitzche took a confident win, while Carter Matthews was second and Paul George, who wrecked across the finish line, was third.
