Big Sky hosts two nights of action and winners include Hample & Harris in the Late Models, Leiker in the Midwest Mods

BILLINGS, MT (June 12-13) - Big Sky Speedway hosted a two-day weekend of action June 12-13, hosting the Mountain States Mod Tour as well as the WISSOTA Late Models.

Friday night, Ty Hample and Troy Leiker topped WISSOTA Dirt Track Series action.

Hample started from the pole in the WISSOTA Late Model feature and led from flag to flag to take the win by about 1 second ahead of Rock Degele in second. Michael Hartigan, Jeremy McCune and Jim Harris completed the top five.

Leiker kept challenges from his brother Tony at bay to drive home with the WISSOTA Midwest Mod victory. Griffen Switzenberg was third, Mario Berger improved 10 spots to fourth, and Justin Will rounded out the top five.

In the IMCA Mods, Eric Mass was the victor, while Kaleb Clark sprinted from 10th to the win in the IMCA Sport Compact class. Travis Wagner earned top honors in the INEX Legends class Friday.

Saturday night Jim Harris took his turn in victory lane in WISSOTA Late Model action, while Tony Leiker duplicated his brother’s Friday night efforts to take his own victory in the WISSOTA Midwest Mods.

Harris started outside of the second row in the Late Models, made his way to the lead and took the eventual checkered flag ahead of front-row starter Dan Henrickson. Rock Degele improved five spots to third, Ty Hample was fourth and Jeremy Castro was fifth.

In the Midwest Mods, Tony Leiker also started from fourth at the initial green, holding second behind his brother Troy for much of the race. With about five laps to go, he took the lead and held on for the win by .397 seconds. Troy settled for second, Mario Berger charged to third from his 20th starting spot, Justin Elmer was fourth and Troy Cepak, Jr. was fifth.

Other winners at Big Sky Saturday included Travis Wagner (INEX Legends), Jeremy Meirhofer (IMCA Modifieds), and Kyle Dalke (IMCA Sport Compacts).
