Ricky Weiss takes the checkers for his WISSOTA 100 victory.
What won the race: Ricky Weiss of Headingley, Manitoba, overtook early leader Jeff Wildung after a spate of early cautions and grabbed a 40-lap victory in Saturday's WISSOTA 100 debut at I-94 Speedway. Weiss kept Marshall Fegers in check over the final laps for the $10,000 payday.
Quotable: "The track prep this week, a lot of people were worried about it, but I think it was the best WISSOTA 100 we've been at yet," winner Ricky Weiss said. "The track held up, the fans are great, the facility's great, and I think we've got a pretty good future here."
Key notes: Weiss had a 1.15-second lead at the checkers. ... Weiss earned his second big payday for the second straight Saturday; he earned $9,200 a week earlier at River Cities Speedway's John Seitz Memorial in Grand Forks, N.D. ... Apparent runner-up Marshall Fegers was light at the scales and disqualified; Jeff Wildung was moved up to second with Shane Edginton the second Canadian on the podium. ... Preliminary features winners were Brian Diede (Wednesday), Ricky Weiss (Thursday) and Don Shaw (Friday). ... Diede got a poor start in the main event and eventually spun in turn two. ... The most serious caution appeared on the seventh lap when fourth-running Cole Schill got into a frontstretch tangle involving Don Shaw and Dan Ebert; Shaw retired ... I-94 Speedway hosted the WISSOTA 100 for the first time; the event was previously at Dakota State Fair Speedway in Huron, S.D.
On the move: Shane Edginton of Winnipeg, Manitoba, started 12th and finished third.
