Rezutek Reigns at Hales Corners Speedway
By John Shea
Franklin, Wis., July 20-Bill Rezutek picked up his first career UMP late
model feature victory on Suburban Drywall Night Saturday at the Hales Corners
Speedway.
Don Sorce Jr. won the second round of the Borchardt Speed - Automotive
Sportsmen Triple Crown while the remainder of the program fell victim to
rain.
Rezutek started the 30-lap UMP late model headliner from the pole and led
until Bret Sievert took command at lap 16. After a short yellow for light
rain, the race resumed and Rezutek went back past Sievert to retake the lead
at lap 18.
In the closing laps Rezutek eased away form his pursuers as the quartet
of Rick Scheffler, Scott Specht, Sievert and Jimmy Watson disputed second
place. Scheffler trailed Rezutek under the checkered flag to claim runner-up
honors, while Watson was third, Sievert fourth and Jim Zdroik fifth. Specht
was muscled aside by Sievert in the final turn and fell to sixth at the
finish as a result.
John Sidesky led the first three laps of the 35-lap Borchardt Speed -
Automotive Sportsmen Triple Crown feature before Sorce Jr. took command.
Once in front, Sorce Jr. was mostly unchallenged for the remainder of the
event as he led handily. Jeff Tondryk finished second, with Pat Heaney
third, Dave Gorny fourth and Eddie Lemay Jr. fifth.
Rain cancelled the modified, Hales Whales and 4-cylinder features just
after the conclusion of the sportsmen feature.
Racing continues at the Hales Corners Speedway on Saturday night, July
27. The night will be topped by a 30-lap UMP late model feature and a full
program of sportsmen, modified and Hales Whales racing, plus the new
4-cylinder division. Time trials are at 6:15 p.m., with racing immediately
