Brian Kristan of Zion, Illinois closed out the Father's Day Weekend Special by scoring his first ever 20-lap AutoMeter Wisconsin wingLess Sprint main victory.
"My crew guys talked me into coming out of retirement," said Kristan, whose last feature win at Wilmot was in 2010 and last anywhere was in 2011 at 141 Speedway, both in winged outlaw sprint cars. "Driving this without the wing is a lot different. I dedicate this win to TJ(Brian's twin brother who passed away in 2018). It's great having Pops (former Wilmot and IRA driver Joe Kristan) and mom (Judie) here along with a lot of other friends. This feels great."
Kristan jumped into the lead from his second row starting spot en-route to the victory. Allen Hafford of Beach Park, Illinois finished second. Past Wilmot Champion Doug Schenck of Cottage Grove was third. Defending Wilmot and AutoMeter Series Champion Tim Cox of Park City, Illinois was fourth. Zach Raidart of Antioch, Illinois was fifth.
