WILMOT, WI (June 13, 2020) — Bill Balog won the first event of the 2020 season for the Bumper to Bumper Interstate Racing Association Saturday night at Wilmot Raceway. Balog quickly moved up from fourth starting spot for the victory. Jeremy Schultz, Blake Nimee, Russel Borland, and Jordan Goldesberry rounded out the top five.

During the IRA main event Dave Uttech was involved in a crash on the front stretch. After being attended to by the safety crew Uttech did walk to the ambulance but was transported to a local hospital.

Due to the length of the crash cleanup the Wisconsin WingLESS Sprint Car feature was postponed.
