Schenck Wins Another at Wilmot

In the most bizarre Wilmot championship was Jordan Mattson of Milwaukee in the Wisconsin WingLESS Sprints presented by the Interstate Racing Association(IRA). Despite having contact with another car while on the pace lap of the feature and finishing last in the 20-car field, Mattson ended up 2 points ahead of second place Tim Cox of Park City, Illinois in securing his first ever Wilmot title.
"I'm a lot happier now then I was a while ago," said Mattson of his first ever championship in a non-winged sprint car. "I have to thank all of my sponsors, crew and family for all of their support."
Cottage Grove's Doug Schenck, the 2015 inaugural WingLESS champion at Wilmot, led wire to wire in the 20-lap season championship feature. Cautions on lap 7 and with two laps remaining kept the field within striking distance of Schenck who was up to the challenge each time. "I don't like starting up front, but we'll take it," said Schenck, who revealed his crew made a major repair on the drive line following his heat win. "It's a good thing we had a lot of cars here because that gave us the time we needed."
Following Schenck was second place Allen Hafford of Beach Park, Illinois who edged out third place Jimmy Sivia of Winthrop Harbor, Illinois in a hotly contested battle. Nick Petska of Spring Grove, Illinois was fourth with Nathan Crane of Waukegan, Illinois fifth.
