Bill Balog & B Squared Motorsports: Another Win & More Rain

7/22/10 – Once again, Bill Balog & the B Squared Motorsports 17B had 2 races scheduled this past weekend. First on the agenda was the Oshkosh Speedzone in Oshkosh, WI. With a race track that was quickly loosing traction, Bill ended up turning the 4^th quickest lap in qualifying out of the 30 cars present. He would take the green flag in 5^th place & he would need to bring a top 5 finish home in order to transfer straight to the feature. After falling to 6^th at the start, he would get in his rhythm & by the time the checkered flag flew, he would finish in the all important 5^th position. With the 5 pill drawn for feature inversion, Bill would take the green flag from the 7^th position. At the drop of the green, Bill worked the bottom side of the track in 1 & 2 perfectly & by the time they were in turn 3, he was sitting in 3^rd place. But as lick would have it, the yellow flag flew before a lap was complete, which meant a complete restart was in order. On the next start, he would have to work harder for the positions in front of him. Lap after lap went by & he was picking off car by car & with just about 10 laps left in the race, he would take the race lead in lapped traffic. He & the 2^nd place car would battle over the last 10 laps, slicing & dicing through the lapped cars & when the checkered flag flew, Bill was the 1^st to cross the line. This win is Bill’s 9^th career IRA win & 2^nd of the 2010 season. Saturday’s racing action was to take place at the Eagle Valley Speedway in Jim Falls, WI but as luck would have it, rained moved in to the area just as the teams were arriving at the track, forcing track personnel to cancel the event. This weekend the HRP Wings & Race Products / Gaerte Engines #17B will be in action at the Elko Speedway in Elko, MN on both Friday & Saturday. Elko is normally an asphalt track, but for this event they convert it one of the nation’s premier dirt tracks.
