Wells, Wender Highlight Victory Lane In Norway

NORWAY---Kingsford’s Jason Wells fought off current points leader Justin Mondeik of Gleason, Wisconsin after a caution with four laps remaining to capture the late model feature at Norway Speedway Friday night.
 
The victory was Wells first here of the season.
 
Wells wrestled the lead away from 2022 Hall of Famer Bruce White on lap seven and built up a comfortable cushion over the 14 car field. Mondeik, who scored fast time earlier in the evening, carefully threaded his way through the pack, working his way up to 3rd by the halfway point. Mondeik motored past Gregg Haese for second with 13 laps remaining and began whittling away at Wells margin.
 
Mondeik chased down Wells with seven laps remaining and pulled up alongside of Wells on a few occasions, but Wells fought off the challenges.
 
Wells maintained the first-place spot as the pair crossed the checkers. Mondeik hung on for second place money, followed by Bennett, Haese and Scott Stanchina rounding out the top five finishers.
 
Former track champion Ryan Wender of Upper Pine Creek scored his first feature flag of the ’22 campaign in the super stock class. It was a photo finish that decided the winner of the stock car main event with Kingsford’s Brian Massicotte edging former track champion Joe Ostermann at the checkers by a fender.
 
Elliot Reid of Faithorn fought off a stiff, late race challenge from Hermansville’s Alex Bellmore to capture the four-cylinder feature.
 
Racing resumes next Friday night August 5. Racing resumes with the action getting underway at 7 p.m.
