Jensen tops two, Fleck flies to first-ever win, and Atkinson and Arnes knock off feature fields at The Big O

By Tami Jo Kuehn

OGILVIE, MN (May 31) - Saturday night was all about the kids, as it was Meet the Drivers night at Wagamon’s Ogilvie Raceway. Drivers lined the track during intermission while kids ran to collect driver cards, candy and treats.

Landon Atkinson and Bobie Arnes netted WISSOTA Dirt Track Series victories, Joey Jensen earned two, and Braedyn Fleck drove to his first ever.

The WISSOTA Street Stocks took the green with Fleck and Rachel Boston on row one. They battled during the opening laps with Jim Gullikson close behind in third. Fleck secured the point with Gullikson making the pass for second. Fleck slowly stretched his lead over the veteran driver in the waning laps and won his first feature ever. Gullikson, Jeff Ekdahl, Rachel Boston and Levi Randt rounded out the top five.

Joey Jensen claimed the immediate lead when the green waved for the WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds. The husband-and-wife team of Ashley and Wyatt Boyum battled for second while other drivers were two and three-wide for positions.

Laps passed quickly as Jensen began to put drivers down a lap. As the front of the field worked its way through the backmarkers, Jensen drove off to victory lane for his first of two wins on the night. Ashley Boyum, David Swearingen, Wyatt Boyum and Jason VandeKamp were top five finishers.

Dylan Kromschroeder was the early leader in the WISSOTA Super Stock feature. Austin Neimeyer and Joey Jensen battled for second until Jensen secured the spot. Jensen moved alongside Kromschroeder while Dexton Koch took third.

Out front Jensen made the pass for the lead as Koch moved in to challenge Kromschroeder; Kromschroeder held second. Jensen drove off and visited victory lane for his second time of the night, followed by Kromschroeder, Koch, Ryan Kostreba and Austin Neimeyer in the top five.

Bobie Arnes took first and Tony Jenson snagged second when the WISSOTA Hornets took the green flag. Jenson remained close to Arnes, as Christian Kast and Adam Throener battled for third.

The top four raced door to door for position as the race came to a close. Arnes grabbed the win with Jenson, Kast, Throener and Randy Jacoboski in the top five.

The WISSOTA Modifieds wrapped up the night’s race events led to green by Landon Atkinson and Brennan Gave. Atkinson was the early leader, while Jody Bellefeuille moved to second and Gave was third.

Bellefeuille began to challenge Atkinson as the top two racers separated themselves from the field. Atkinson slowly pulled away from Bellefeuille, and he kept that pace until the checkered flags waved. Landon Atkinson took the win with Bellefeuille, Travis Schulte, Gave and Don Eischens in the top five.
