Some great racing would take place on Saturday August 31st to open up the Herz Precision Parts Wingless Nationals at the Cottage Grove Speedway. Three classes would be on hand for competition which included the Northwest Wingless Tour, IMCA Modifieds, and Open Comp 4-Cylinders.Kyle Miller of Eugene entered the weekend undefeated when it came to participation in the Wingless Nationals. He has won all three editions that have taken place from 2009-2011.
In the main event the car to beat at first would be Salem’s Kady Adelman. Driving her K&S Motorsports/BC Motorsports/Davison Auto Parts/Adelman Peony Gardens #6A Maxim the young lady would pace the field for the first sixteen laps of the feature. Colin Baker of Cottage Grove, driving the Huddle Automotive Repair/Oregon West RV/Steelhouse Metal Roofing Supply #71JR XXX for car owner Hedge Carter, would put considerable pressure on Adelman for the race lead as he worked and worked the top side of the race track.
Baker would eventually earn the lead on lap seventeen and began to develop a sizable margin until Kyle Miller started to push forward. Miller, in the Gary’s Subaru Service/Grant Springer Racing Engines/Automotive Sheetmetal #10 XXX, would utilize a lapped car as a pick to make the sweeping pass on lap twenty-one for the desired position. Miller would lead the rest of the caution free event for his ninth Northwest Wingless Tour victory of 2013.
Colin Baker would place second followed by Kady Adelman in third. The Maxline Custom Cases/Speedmart Inc./Summerfield Golf & Country Club #23 XXX of Rob Lindsey from Wilsonville was fourth and placing fifth would be Josh Pelkey of Peoria, Arizona, also driving for car owner Hedge Carter, in the Huddle Automotive Repair/Oregon West RV/Steelhouse Metal Roofing Supply #71 XXX.
