Slinger, Wis., June 9—Evan Hassler made his Uptown Motor Cars Late Model debut Sunday night at the Slinger Speedway a memorable one as he won the Johnson and Sons Paving Remembrance Night 50-lap main event.

Hassler started 18th in the 19-car field and drove his way forward throughout the event, entering the top five as the laps wound down. Hassler then methodically picked up positions until he found himself in second behind leader Ryan Gutknecht.

However, in post-race technical inspection, Gutknecht’s car failed and Hassler was awarded the win. Following the disqualification, Ryan Craine finished second followed by Mike Held in third. Jon Reynolds Jr. was fourth and Billy Braun finished fifth. Matt Urban took the checkered flag in sixth place followed by Jayden Johnson who also made his late model debut with a seventh place result.

Brian Holtz was the fastest qualifier after he circled the speedway in 12.647 seconds.

Jason Clope survived an intense battle with Brandon Mennicke and Rachel Czarapata to win the 25-lap Slinger Bees feature.
