JAMESTOWN, N.D. (July 11) – Two first-time feature winners took their turns in victory lane following the sixth and final night for the Kupper Chevrolet Dakota Classic Tour.
With a track record 80 IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modifieds at Jamestown Speedway Friday, Justin O’Brien took the lead from Steven Pfeifer late in the 30-lapper and outran Justen Yeager for the $2,000 checkers.
“This was absolutely the biggest win of my career,” said O’Brien, newly qualified for the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot. “The best of the best in IMCA were here.”
Jeff Taylor clinched the series title with his third-place finish, still in a borrowed car. Pfeifer and Ryan Ruter completed the top five.
Point runner-up Jordan Grabouski started last in the field of 26 and finished 12th.
Perry Misner almost didn’t capitalize on a rare start near the front of the field, falling back to ninth before rallying to win the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car tour feature and $800.
“I had a pretty good car so once I got rolling I was able to pass a few cars,” said Misner, who got the lead with four circuits left in the 25-lapper. Nathan Burke was second and Austin Daee took third.
Dalton Flory finished fourth and won the tour title as defending champion Elijah Zevenbergen saw his 12-point advantage wiped out by a 19th place finish. Greg Wichman was fifth.
