hopeful to continue the string of top 5 performances.

As usual, the always calm and collected Mike Savage had his #264
Savage Construction, Ringers Gloves, Phil?s Inc. Kumho Tires Ford
F-150 were lined up in the middle of the first row as the 12 truck
field readied themselves for the Precision Gear Land
rush start.
As the green flag fell all 12 Sportsman 2 trucks headed for the Forest
County Potowatomi Turn One. Mike Savage gets through cleanly in 5th
place. Immediately Mike and his #264 Savage Construction, Ringers
Gloves, Phil?s Inc. Kumho Tires Ford F-150 were battling with the 4th
place truck of Don Williams. The two trucks were bumper to bumper when
on lap 8 Mike made the pass for fourth. At the checkered flag, the
finishing order was 1st-Dan Boudoux, 2nd Ben Wandasega, 3rd Russ Hoek,
and 4th Mike ?the Privateer? Savage.
Sunday - Round 4

At drop of the green flag, Mike and his Kumho Tire shod Ford F-150
charged through Turn One in third place behind #217 Baudoux and #210
Hoek. On lap two the #210 headed for the pits to change a flat tire.
This moved Mike Savage into second place. Suddenly the truck lost all
power after a hard landing coming off the American Axle TracLite Jump.
