CONGRATS TO JEFF VANHANDEL ON THURSDAY'S FEATURE WIN AT WIR

Jeff Van Handel was the winner of the 20-lap sport truck main event, taking the victory ahead of Tyler Vandermoss and Josh Jeske. Todd Kostichka led the opening lap before Jordan Carpenter took over the point on lap two. Dan Vixmer took advantage of Carpenter’s move to the lead to pass Kostichka on the inside for second. Vixmer then became the third leader in as many laps by racing to the inside of Carpenter to take the lead on lap three. While Vixmer was comfortably on front of the field, his truck suddenly fell off the pace and he coasted to the infield on lap six, handing the lead over to Van Handel. As Van Handel led, Ron Magdanz worked his way through the field and into the top five with Brandon Kucksdorf right behind him. Van Handel led the final 13 laps and scored the win over Tyler Vandermoss while Josh Jeske finished third ahead of Magdanz and Kucksdorf. Earlier in the evening, Van Handel also won a heat race while Vandermoss was the winner of the other heat race. Ron Magdanz was the fastest qualifier in the sport truck division.  - By: Dan Margetta
