Hample hustles from 11th starting spot to win Late Model main on first night, and Doppler drives to victory on night two at Big Sky Speedway

BILLINGS, MT (October 4-5) - Big Sky Speedway opened its gates for one final time in 2024. They crowned two winners in WISSOTA Dirt Track Series action, including Ty Hample and Blain Doppler, who split the WISSOTA Late Model headliners Friday and Saturday.

On Friday night, Hample’s stirring drive from 11th highlighted the night’s Late Model feature, with the hometown favorite grabbing the victory ahead of Doppler. Dillon Price, ninth-starter Rock Degele and Ryan Fasching completed the top five.

Doppler gained revenge and the feature win on Saturday, topping the field from his second-row starting spot. Eighth-starter Lynn Amick was second, Hample was third, Vernon Hill Jr. finished fourth and Vernon Hill was fifth.

In the track’s other classes, Travis Hagen and Joey Price split the IMCA Modified action, while Chas Matye (IMCA Sport Compacts), Bryce Barnhardt (INEX Legends), and Chris Williams (Wingless Sprints) swept feature action across both nights in their respective classes.
