Madison International Speedway: Dave Feiler cruises to victory at MIS

Dave Feiler Cruises to Victory at MIS

By John Wells

Dave Feiler of Cottage Grove took the lead on lap 20 and led the rest of the way to pickup the win in the Ho Chuck Gaming Super Late Model Triple Crown Challenge and took home the big purse money of $4000. Will Rece won in the Dave’s White Rock Sportsman and Brandon DeLacy won in the Roto Rooter Bandits.

Casey Johnson took the early lead in the Ho Chunk Gaming Triple Crown Challenge 100 before losing it to Bobby Kendall on lap 3. Kendall’s night would come to an early end when he lost power on lap 11 giving the lead to Jeff Storm. Storm held the lead for two laps when the caution flag waved when Jeremy Miller made contact with the wall. Johnson would regain the lead only to have Feiler sail by him on lap 20.

Feiler was fast and flying out front as the rest of the field tried to keep him in their sites. Chris Wimmer appeared to be the fastest and by the competition yellow and ten minute break at lap 75 was up to second.

Feiler elected to restart on the inside with Wimmer on the outside. Feiler maintained the lead by half a car length with Wimmer second followed by Johnson, Michael Bilderback, and Bobby Wilberg. On lap 83 Johnson passed Wimmer for the second spot with much ground to cover if he hoped to catch the leader, but nobody could catch Feiler tonight.

“Over the winter we did a lot of work on this car and it took a lot of time. It was really hooked up tonight. I have to dedicate this win to Bruce Mueller from B and B. There are so many people I need to thank. If it wasn’t for all of our sponsors it would be pretty tough to put all this together,” said Feiler from victory lane.

Will Rece of Stoughton claimed top honors in the Sportsman winning the twenty lap feature.

Mike Taylor took the early lead and held it for the first four laps before Rece squeezed by on the inside coming out of turn two on lap 5 to take the lead. Ryan Golade and Kody Hubred were up to challenge Rece as the three broke away from the pack. While Goldade and Hubred fought it out for second, Rece increased his lead while those in pursuit could only hope for a caution flag. It never came and Rece rolled to the win.

Rece commented, “I’m just glad we had it hooked up on the outside tonight.”

Brandon DeLacy of Stoughton won the 20 lap feature for the Bandits picking up his first-ever victory at MIS.

DeLacy took the early lead from the pole and built up a five car advantage over Jon Coker and Dan Snyder after the first five laps. The race stayed green the entire way and nobody was able to catch

DeLacy who powered his way to victory.

“We had to make some changes before we made it out for the feature,” said DeLacy from victory lane.
