Shryock scores USRA Modified win in Kasson regular season opener

KASSON, Minn. — The sun shone brightly at the Kasson Speedway for the first time in 2008 and the races were hotly contested in all six regular divisions at the Southern Minnesota speedplant. Eighty cars were on hand for the regular season opener, which saw some greatly contested battles in all six divisions throughout the course of the evening presented by Laser 101.7FM.

Kelly Shryock took off from the inside of the second row in the USRA Modified feature into the lead and never looked back as Todd Scharkey and Bob Timm gave a solid challenge early, but Shryock was just too strong tonight in his new black Skyrocket #3.

Timm attempted to run down Shryock near the end, but Shryock was solid in the lead and held off Timm by a nose at the line in a fantastic finish.

Timm settled for second with Scharkey, Steve Wetzstein and Jay Ihrke rounding out the top-5 at the line.

Racing resumes at the Kasson Speedway on Sunday, May 18, with a full program of USRA Modifieds, WISSOTA Super Stocks, WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, WISSOTA Street Stocks, Pure Stocks and Hornets. Racing will begin at 6 p.m. Check out www.kassonspeedway.com for more information.
