From St. Croix Valley Raceway
St. Croix Falls, WI — (June 21, 2014) — Steady rains all week led up to a hot and steamy race night at St. Croix Valley Raceway on Friday. The moisture laden track hosted equally hot, fast and furious races.
In their final tune-up race before the big “Traditional 40” race on June 27, the UMSS Traditional Sprints were brought to green by Mike Mueller and Mike Walters. As is typical for the Traditionals, the field quickly spread out into multiple grooves. Mueller showed the way for the first third of the race, initially with Walters in pursuit, then with first heat race winner Cam Schafer taking up the charge on lap five. After following Mueller for a few laps, Schafer took over the lead and Rob Caho powered by Mueller for second at the crossed flags. With the two points leaders up front it was a high-speed chase to the checkers that ended with Schafer parking in the Anderson’s Maple Syrup victory lane for the second week in a row over Caho, Chase Viebrock, Jake Kouba and Mueller.
