A.J. Diemel celebrates his rich victory at River Cities.
What won the race: Gaining redemption after coming up just short one year ago, seventh-starting A.J. Diemel of Elk Mound, Wis., raced to $9,200 victory in the John Seitz Memorial, nipping hard-charging Joey Pederson of East Grand Forks, N.D., at the line by .116 seconds.
Key notes: Diemel stole the point from polesitter and early leader Don Shaw of Ham Lake, Minn., on the 13th circuit and led the rest of the 92-lap distance. ... After starting 23rd, Pederson steadily worked his way through the field and went from sixth to second with a key move on the 78th lap; he turned up the pressure on Diemel with a high-side charge late, but fell just short of an improbable victory at the line. ... The feature lasted just under 48 minutes and 15 drivers completed all 92 laps. ... Diemel lost a tough race to Brad Seng of Grand Forks, N.D., in the 2013 running of the event. ... The eighth annual event honored late WISSOTA racer John Seitz of Bemidji, Minn. ... Preliminary action was contested Friday. ... The 92-lap feature paid $9,200 to the winner and $920 to each feature starter in a nod to Seitz's No. 92 car. ... Several other contingency prizes were on the line, including rewards for the hard charger, longest tow, hard luck, 19th-place finisher, highest-finishing first-time entrant and more.
On the move: Pederson ripped through the field to finish second after starting 23rd; Ricky Weiss of Headingley, Manitoba, rounded out the podium after starting 10th.
Winner's sponsors: Diemel's No. 58 MB Customs machine is sponsored by Allstar Performance, Beltline Body Shop, CMD Race Shocks, Joe Provo Racewear, Keyser Manufacturing, Mars Race Cars, Nolan Livestock Northern Chill, Schaeffer's Racing Oil and Speedwerx.
Points chase: Entering the weekend, Weiss had 1,623 points to lead Harry Hanson (1,581) and Scott Ward (1,560) in the WISSOTA standings.
