Joel Wyttenbach of Sauk City scored his seventh win of the season in the 20-lap Gibbsville Cheese INEX Legends/Wisconsin Legends Racing Dirt Series A-Main at The Raceway at Powercom Park on Saturday night.

Kevin Brill of Oostburg raced into the lead at the start of the event from his outside row one starting position. Greg Hartlaub of Sheboygan Falls, who started on the pole, took over the top spot on lap two. Brill fought back and recaptured the lead one lap later. However on lap five, Brill had trouble with turn four and the field scrambled. Eric Barth of Sauk City was unable to avoid Brill and the caution flag waved. Both Barth and Brill were able to continue and tagged onto the rear for the restart. Greg Hartlaub led the field back under green but gave up the top spot to Bethany Wyttenbach of Plain on lap six. The caution flag waved again before the completion of the next lap for an incident on the front straight involving Loren Zuhlke Jr. of Beaver Dam, Brandon Hentges of Marion, IA, Eric Barth and Mike Mueller of Waupun. Bethany Wyttenbach led on the restart and built up a four-car length lead before the race was slowed for a spin by Steve Boelter of Verona on lap nine. When racing resumed, Bethany Wyttenbach continued to lead while Joel Wyttenbach moved up into second. On lap eleven, Bethany slowed when she believed the caution would be coming out for a car that had spun. However, the track stayed green and Joel dashed by to take over the lead. Joey Johnson of Slinger was also able to get by taking over the second position. On lap seventeen, Tom Butler of Marion, IA spun in turn two and the caution waved when Butler was unable to get back under way. Joel Wyttenbach won the three-lap dash to the end taking the win over Joey Johnson and Bethany Wyttenbach. Brad Weber of Rolling Prairie drove to fourth ahead of Phil Van Tatenhove.

Joey Johnson and Greg Hartlaub were victorious in heat race action earlier in the evening.
