Leach, Tribble and Petroff post Big Sky Super Nationals wins at Gallatin Speedway

BELGRADE, MT (September 11) - Gallatin Speedway hosted the two-day Big Sky Super Nationals, which kicked off on Friday night. Late Models were part of the program, and Paul Leach squeaked out a close victory, while Jon Tribble and Robert Petroff were also WISSOTA Dirt Track Series winners on Friday night.

Leach won the WISSOTA Late Model main event by the narrowest of margins. He started seventh on the grid, and was not in the runner-up position until the last five laps. After a close battle with Vernon Hill, Jr. in the closing circuits, Leach took the checkers by .015 seconds ahead of Hill, Jr. for the win. Joey Price climbed from 11th to finish third ahead of Ty Hample and Vernon Hill, Sr.

Tribble led all but a few early laps en route to the WISSOTA Super Stock main event victory. Ryan Fasching trimmed away at Tribble’s advantage in the second half of the race, but settled for runner-up - just over a second behind at the checkers. R.C. Giess finished third with Taylor Martin fourth and Jeremy Mierhofer fifth.

Petroff dominated the 20-lap WISSOTA Street Stock main event. He started on the pole and led by as much as 5 seconds before a late-race caution. Dillon Hoppe started sixth and methodically worked his way forward, claiming second with only a few laps to go. Chris Galpin finished on the podium with Cail Tinker fourth and Cory Craver fifth.

Jordan Tocci earned the IMCA Modified win, and Justin Nelson rallied from eighth to win the Sport Compact main event.
