Sabraski spins up a trip at The Big O Saturday while other WISSOTA winners are Gullikson, Randt and Arnes

By Tami Jo Kuehn

OGILVIE, MN (August 24) - The 2024 Track Champions were decided Saturday night at Wagamon’s Ogilvie Raceway, in addition to a full night of WISSOTA Dirt Track Series action.

As the night wrapped up, Jim Gullikson, Bobie Arnes, and Landyn Randt made their way to victory lane in sanctioned action, while “The Iron Man” Shane Sabraski took home honors in three classes.

The WISSOTA Street Stocks kicked off the night’s features with Levi Randt and Thomas Worth door to door for the lead. Worth nosed out the point, but the top five drivers remained close. Jim Gullikson and Tommy Pogones moved alongside Worth; they pulled ahead to battle for the top spot, breaking away from the field.

Laps passed without incident and the checkered flag flew, with Gullikson taking the win. Pogones, Jeff Ekdahl, Levi Randt and Worth completed the top five.

Russell Kostreba and Dustin Nelson brought the WISSOTA Super Stocks to green, and Ryan Kostreba joined the fight for first. Russell nosed out the point while Ryan Kostreba, Nelson and Sabraski were three-wide for second. Sabraski took the position and chased down Russell Kostreba as the yellow waved.

When the race resumed, Sabraski sped off out front, as Dave Mass slid into second with Dexton Koch in third. Mass chased down and caught Sabraski for first, and although he gave his all, Sabraski held the point and took the win. Mass, Koch, Russell Kostreba and Ryan Kostreba rounded out the top five.

A small but strong field of WISSOTA Late Models were led early by Dylan Kromschroeder. Mass and Steve Laursen kept after Kromschroeder, and as laps passed, Mass moved alongside Kromschroeder. Contact occurred between the leaders, and although they kept going, Mass moved ahead and took the lead, as Josh Zimpel took second and Sabraski claimed third. Mass got a bit loose in the turn, which allowed Zimpel to close the gap. The top three drivers remained close as Zimpel jumped the cushion, made contact with the wall and triggered a caution.

The field was reset with Mass in command followed by Sabraski and Kromschroeder. Sabraski kept after Mass as the final laps passed, and with two laps to go, took the lead and snagged the win. Mass, Jared Zimpel, Kromschroeder and Steve Laursen finished in the top five spots.

Cole Boston and Ben Lewis battled for first as the green waved for the WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, and at the end of lap one, Lewis was in command. Landyn Randt moved into second while Boston, Jake Hagemann and Wyatt Boyum battled for third. Boston claimed third and the top three settled into their positions. Cars covered the entire race surface as the leaders began to catch lapped traffic. Boston dropped low on the track and slid up to steal second from Randt.

Boston then closed in on Lewis, and with a handful of laps to go, the top two battled for first through lapped traffic. Boston and Lewis put on a show as they came to the final lap, when Boston dropped low and tried to pull another slider for the win. However, Boston found himself alongside a lapped car, and Lewis shot ahead and took the checkered flag. Boston had to settle for second ahead of Landyn Randt, Ryan Putnam and Wyatt Boyum in the top five.

An immediate caution in the WISSOTA Mod Fours stacked up the field, and on the green Blake Hawker had the lead. Tyler Larson snagged second as Landyn Randt moved into third. A couple more cautions reset the field and as the green waved, Randt made his way into the lead. Larson held second, but Hawker kept close in third. Randt drove on to the eventual win, ahead of Larson, Hawker, Rowann Tramm and Josh Madson in the top five.

The WISSOTA Modifieds were led early by Travis Schulte, with Jack Rivord and Zach Benson in tow. Benson worked Rivord for second and as Benson moved forward, Jody Bellefeuille and Sabraski challenged Rivord. They were three-wide for third as the leader, Schulte, spun in the turn and the yellow waved.

Benson assumed the lead on the restart with Sabraski to his rear. Sabraski chased after Benson as the top two broke away from the field. Sabraski’s times were a bit better, as he slowly reeled in Benson. As the laps came to a close, Sabraski made the pass. He took the win ahead of Benson, Bellefeuille, Clayton Wagamon and Jeremy Nelson in the top five.

Terry Romick and Randy Jacoboski brought the WISSOTA Hornets to the stand for the final feature of not only the night, but the regular race season. As the green waved, Bobie Arnes moved forward, and they were three wide for first. Arnes claimed the top point, with Jenna Hagemann in second. The Hornets spread out and settled into position, with Arnes in a solid lead. He drove on to the eventual victory ahead of Hagemann, Anthony Jenson, Romick and Jacoboski in the top five.

With the final checkered flag waving, the season champions were crowned, including Sabraski in the Late Models, Bellefeuille in the Modifieds, Koch in the Super Stocks, Boston in the Midwest Modifieds, Pogones in the Street Stocks, Tyler Larson in the Mod Fours, and Hagemann in the Hornets.

Ogilvie Raceway will take the month of September off, but the track will be back in action in October for the Fall Classic and Topless Nationals. The Fall Classic presented by FYE Motorsports will take place October 4-5, featuring all WISSOTA classes as well as the USRA Late Models on Saturday only. Topless Nationals will occur October 18-19 featuring Street Stocks, Midwest Modifieds, Modifieds, Mod Fours, Super Stocks, Hornets and Late Models. Be sure to mark your calendars for these fun events, before the book is officially closed for the season.
