Mitchell Leads Trio of Wire to Wire Winners at Deming Speedway

6/15/18

Everson, WA – Wire to wire wins were the theme of the night for three of the four classes at Deming Speedway on Friday night. With racing action sponsored by Robinson & Kole, Pacific Coast Auto Center, Northwest Propane and Meenderinck LLC, the nights features were won by Kyle Mitchell, Clennon Holloway, Blaine Granberg and Levi Hillier.

In what would be a recurring theme over the final features on the night, Kyle Mitchell led every lap of the Speedmart Hoosier 600 open division main event for the victory. The win was Kyle’s second of the year and first with the wings on. Chance Crum took second, closing on Mitchell amongst slower traffic before a lap 12 caution spread the field out. Jared Peterson took third. Heat wins went to Evan Margeson, Kyle Johnson and Keith Wickard.

Clennon Holloway went wire to wire for his first victory in a couple of seasons in the Shots 2 Go Espresso 1200 class. Jared Gunderson did not make it easy for Clennon as he was no further than a car length back for most of the contest, but could never pull along side Holloway who was masterful in rolling the middle of the racetrack. Alex Lewis rounded out the podium finishers. JJ HIckle and Holloway won the heats.

In the Mytrafficman.net 600 Restricted division, Blaine Granberg went wire to wire for his first win of the season. Granberg was never seriously challenged over the 25 lap main event on his way to victory lane. Colby Thornhill and Dakota Drake rounded out the podium, with Granberg, Tyler McLeod, Seth Anderlini and Malachi Gemmer winning the heats.

Jayden Whitney and Levi HIllier went nose to tail for a number of laps in the Kasey Kahne Junior Sprints division to determine the winner. Whitney led the first 18 laps of the main but slipped up too high off turn two, giving Hillier a chance to drive underneath for the lead coming to the white flag. Hillier would hold strong over the final ⅙ mile to take his division leading third main event of the year, with Whitney taking second and Keira Zylstra making a last lap past for third. Zylstra, HIllier and Carson Guffie were the heat winners.
