Leiker lands Border Battle win on South Dakota side while Ferguson & McDonnell also win at Black Hills

RAPID CITY, SD (July 17) - Troy Leiker topped the eighth annual Border Clash at Black Hills Speedway on Friday, and earned a $1,250 payday for his efforts. Leonard Ferguson and Allan McDonnell also made their way to WISSOTA Dirt Track Series victory lane at the half-mile.

Leiker started on the outside of the second row in the WISSOTA Midwest Modified feature, and settled into second behind Matt Heinzerling during the first half of the 20-lap race. Leiker made his move for the lead near the crossed flags, and held off the competition for the victory. Heinzerling finished second ahead of Darin Hauff, Brennan Davis and Tony Leiker.

Ferguson collected his seventh WISSOTA Street Stock main event of the season with his victory on Friday. He started on the inside of row three and worked his way to the front for the checkers. Troy Murner started on the pole and finished second with Jaren Puhlman third, and Kyle Hanson fourth.

McDonnell, though not technically a rookie, earned his first WISSOTA Mod Four victory in his first season of competition in the division. He started on the outside of the front row and led the distance for his first feature win. Tristan Torres finished nearly 1.5 seconds back in the runner-up slot, ahead of Devin Wolter, Dean Larson and Gatlin Comer.

Eric Mass earned the IMCA Modified win, D.J. Brink topped 360 Sprint action, and Minnesota traveler Austin Jahnz raced from 11th to win the Hobby Stock feature.
