KAUKAUNA – One of Wisconsin's most prolific stock car racers won state's longest short-track race for the biggest victory of his career.
Justin Mondeik beat Ty Fredrickson on a restart with 10 laps to go to win the ASA Midwest Tour Gandrud 250 on Aug. 4 at Wisconsin International Raceway, earning a $15,000 payday.
"We had those two restarts and I was able to get a good launch off [Turn] 4 and just be behind him by a half a car length at the start and had a really good 1 and 2 and was able to clear him," said the 29-year-old from Gleason.
"Pretty wild race. Definitely needed those late restarts."
Fredrickson, who chose the outside for the restart, was upset with Mondeik both for contact and for what he believed was a jumped final restart after a previous attempt was waved off. He finished second with Penn Sauter third, WIR weekly competitor Riley Stenjem fourth and two-time Midwest Tour champion Gabe Sommers fifth.
