the division.

Zimmerman led the field of KiPo Chevrolet Street
Stocks to the green flag for their feature event
with Dell in the lead over “Showtime” Jaren
Israel. The lead trio of Dell, Israel, and Cory
Sawyer were leading last week’s feature winner
Pete Stefanski and Ken Camidge early on. Past

stop on the front stretch to bring out the
caution on lap five. On the restart, Israel
would take lead as Dell was challenged by
Stefanski for second place. Stefanski would
complete the pass on lap seven to move into the
runner-up spot and would begin to go after
Israel. Stefanski would look underneath and the
two veterans would battle for the lead.
Stefanski would take the lead on lap ten, just
as Ken Camidge would challenge Pat Dell for
third place. Dell would regain the runner-up
spot after going three-wide with Israel and
Camidge. Camidge would take second away from
Dell with four laps remaining. Mike Kramarz spun
in turn four to bring out the caution on lap 17.
Pat Dell would challenge Camidge for second off
the restart, but it would be Pete Stefanski
winning his second straight feature.
