Gullikson grabs Dunn County Fair feature at Red Cedar Speedway

The Red Cedar Speedway presented two nights of racing action at the Dunn County Fair on Thursday night, July 26, with USRA Late Models in the spotlight.

Fans witnessed Shaun Mann and Dan Gullikson win their heats as Gullikson went on to sweep the night at feature time.

The early racing action saw a battle up front for the lead which had Alex Williamson, Derek Nelson and Gullikson swapping positions.

A lap 5 caution for Denny Cutsforth slowed the action with five laps in and the next two restarts were scrapped due to cautions before the lap could be scored.

It was Nelson leading, but Gullikson ran him down, and as they went side by side it took a few laps for Gullikson to secure the lead.

Once in the lead, Gullikson set sail until late in the event when Darrel Hazelton hooked a tire and spun in front of several cars, collecting others at the wall.

Once again, the restart fostered another caution as Nelson spun and retired from the event.

A green white checkered finish saw Gullikson with no problems on his way to the win.

Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series points leader Lance Hofer closed to finish second over Williamson, Troy Langowski and Kyle Johnson in fifth.
