Friday, July 4, 2008 – Chilton, Wisconsin ~ On July 4th the INEX Legends visited the Calumet County Race Association for the third time this season.
Waupun’s Michael Mueller charged into the early lead in
the A-Main.
Joe Johnson and Jeff Steenbergen battled side by side for
second place.
Aaron Muhle and Robert Lever raced down the front stretch
door to door for fourth. When a caution appeared after
lap four, Steenbergen retired to the pits with mechanical
trouble. Mueller set the pace on the restart with
Johnson and Muhle directly behind him. When the green
flag flew, Muhle wasted no time and moved to the outside to
pull into second and pressure Mueller for the lead. Johnson
raced in third with two-time Chilton feature winner Eric
Barth moving into fourth and Lever rounding out the top
five. Barth made his move in lap eight to pull side by
side with Johnson to battle for and take over second place.
Just before the halfway point in lap nine, Barth passed
Mueller to take over the lead. Two laps later,
Joel Wyttenbach moved into third and set his sights on
Mueller in second. Wyttenbach threw his car to the
high side of the track and passed Mueller in lap 14 to take
over the challenge spot with six laps to the end of the
race. Coming out of turn four to complete lap 16,
Wyttenbach tucked his car to the inside of leader Barth and
raced down the front stretch with a bumper separating the
lead and second. Heat winner Wyttenbach made one final
attempt on the final lap to take home the win but Barth took
the checkered flag a bumper ahead of Wyttenbach to win his
third A-Main. Wyttenbach finished second with Warren
Ropp, Johnson and heat winner Kevin Brill rounding out the
top five.
