MAJESKI TOPS ASA MIDWEST TOUR JERRY PRIESGEN MEMORIAL 100 TO OPEN THE 2026 SEASON AT SLINGER

Slinger, Wis., April 26—Ty Majeski used the outside groove to grab the lead from Alex Prunty near the halfway mark and drove to victory in the ASA Midwest Tour Jerry Priesgen Memorial 100 Sunday afternoon as the Slinger Speedway opened its 79th season of racing.
Majeski started from the fifth position and worked his way into third place during the opening laps behind front row starters Grant Griesbach and Alex Prunty. Griesbach handily led the first 36 laps before the one and only caution flag of the race flew when Dennis Prunty slid sideways off turn two while battling with Austin Nason. On the restart, both Alex Prunty and Majeski chose the outside lane at the lane choice symbol and that proved beneficial as Prunty charged around Griesbach who chose the bottom lane, for the lead, bringing Majeski along with him into second. Majeski stalked Prunty for the next 14 laps before rocketing around Prunty on the high side to take command of the race. Griesbach was able to move past Prunty for second while Casey Johnson and Luke Fenhaus advanced to battle Prunty for third. Johnson and Fenhaus were able to move by Prunty and the two battled side by side for third as the laps wound down with Majeski holding a comfortable lead over Griesbach. Majeski was unchallenged over the final circuits and he drove to the victory while Griesbach took the checkered flag in second. Casey Johnson prevailed in the battle with Luke Fenhaus to finish third as Fenhaus dropped back with a flat tire on the final lap. Alex Prunty finished in fourth place while Derek Kraus was fifth. Gabe Sommers crossed the finish line in sixth place while John DeAngelis and Levon VanDerGeest were seventh and eighth respectively. The tire issue dropped Fenhaus to a ninth place result while Ty Fredrickson finished tenth after advancing through the last chance race.
Austin Nason won the 25-lap last chance race over Ty Fredrickson and Jeff Storm. Billy Braun finished fourth and Rayce Haase was fifth. Ty Majeski won the 6-lap fast dash over Derek Kraus and Nick Egan. Luke Fenhaus was the fastest qualifier after turning in a qualifying lap in 11.070 seconds.
Zach Riddle edged Dennis Prunty in a close finish to win the 75-lap Uptown Motorcars late model feature as the division contested its first race on the new wider 10 inch tires. Michael Bilderback finished third just ahead of Evan Hassler and Tom Berens completed the top five finishers in fourth and fifth place respectively. Kooper Giralski took the checkered flag in sixth place and John Reynolds Jr. was seventh. Mike Held finished in eighth place ahead of Jerry Eckhardt and Tyler Hromadka in ninth and tenth respectively.
