WILMOT, Wis. (May 1, 2021) – Carson Short of Marion, IL made his first ever visit to Wilmot Raceway and Wisconsin memorable by taking the victory in the Johnny Reimer Tribute 25-lap Bumper to Bumper Auto Parts Interstates Racing Association (IRA) Wilmot opening night main event.
Jake Blackhurst of Hanna City, IL was second with Danny Schlafer of Gibson, WI third.
“I like this track,” said Short. “I have to thank my family and sponsors for getting the car together. We definitely have the next IRA/All Star race at Wilmot on our schedule (June 4).”
Derek Crane of Racine led flag to flag in the 20-lap Autometer/Brewington Electric 20-lap Wingless Sprint Car feature. Bristol’s Chris Klemko was second. Jimmy Sivia of Wintrhop Harbor, IL third. “We just got the car (engine) fired off last night, and as the feature ended my brakes were fading,” said D. Crane. “It’s great to get the opening night win.”
