Johnny Parsons III Takes Win #3 With SCVR Victory

The following excerpt is from Terry Lehnertz' official St. Croix Valley Raceway race report for the June 15 show.

The Sterling Bank UMSS Traditional Sprint car counts remained strong, topping ten cars for the second consecutive week. Travis Jehlicka and Jack Clark brought the eleven car starting field up to speed with the veteran Clark nabbing the top spot for the opening lap lead. By lap two, it was reigning TSCS champion Kevin Bradwell pacing the field on his home track. Starting deeper in the field, Johnny Parsons III and the winner of last week’s Traditional 30, Rob Caho Jr. were quickly buzzing Bradwell’s fuel cell. By lap seven, Parsons found an opening and blasted to the front with Bradwell and Caho now giving chase. On lap fourteen, Caho and Bradwell swapped positions with the primary pressure to Parsons now applied by Caho, who was simultaneously still fending of Bradwell. At the double checkers, it was Parsons picking up his third win of the season with Caho, Bradwell, Clark and rookie driver Katrina Sautbine rounding out the top five.

Scheduled for this Friday night, June 22, is Senior Night, with all fans over 65 years young receiving free admission. All regular classes will be in competition: Pure Stocks and Future Fours, WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, along with the UMSS Traditional and Micro Sprints. June 22 is also the WISSOTA Race of Champions qualifying night for the Midwest Modifieds.
