Orwig Wins Thriller At SIS, Carter, Griffiths & Vanderwal Also Winners

Oskaloosa, Iowa: Wednesday May, 15th saw the return of racing to the Musco Lighting Southern Iowa Speedway. After four rain outs in the first five nights of the 2019 season the weatherman provided a perfect night for racing on Mahaska and Kool Seamless Gutter Kids night a the races. The kids were given rides in race cars before the races and a huge candy scramble sent the kids home with loads of candy.

The ten lap Autocrafters Sport compact feature provided the fans with a photo finish to decide the winner. The early leader, Brandon Wilson was challenged the entire main event by 5th starting Trent Orwig. The two leaders traded paint and raced side by side lap after lap. Coming to the checkers the leaders were dead even, as the two crossed under the checkers it was determined that Orwig scored the win by the narrowest of margins.

The Oskaloosa Quality Rentals Sportmods main event took the green with Cory VanZante leading the field into turn one. Jason Hall quickly overtook VanZante for the point position only to be overtaken by Curtis Vanderwal, who advanced from the third row.
