(Wilmot, Wis., Saturday, July 30, 2022)–Clayton Rossmann of Wadsworth, IL added to his Wilmot Raceway early racing legacy by capturing his second 20-lap AutoMeter/Brewington Electric Wisconsin WingLESS Sprints feature of his career on Wm. J. Meyer & Son of Libertyville, IL Night Saturday, July 30.
Rossmann, who won his first ever feature at age 15 last summer, took the lead following a caution on a restart with 11 laps remaining. Ryan Marshall of Kansasville, who held top spot through three early cautions, suddenly lost power with 12 laps remaining while leading bringing out a yellow and retiring to the pits. On the restart, Ryan Zielski of Oconomowoc, who inherited the lead, also lost power retiring to the pits and bringing out another yellow.
Rossmann took over the point on the restart with one final yellow coming with four laps remaining. The now 16-year-old second generation driver became the second youngest sprint car feature winner in Wilmot’s history. Nathan Crane of Waukegan, IL was second. Bristol’s Chris Klemko came from 10th starting spot to finish third. Greg Olsen of Round Lake Heights, IL was fourth. Tim Cox of Park City, IL came from 11th to finish fifth.
“I really wish that I could have battled Ryan (Marshall) and Ryan (Zielski), who both had mechanical woes,” said Rossmann, joined by his family in victory lane. Rossmann’s win in 2021 made him the youngest ever sprint car feature winner ever. “The first one was when I was 15 and now I’m only 16 and have a second one. It feels great.”
