Leiker and Meirhofer split Midwest Mod mains at Big Sky Speedway doubleheader

BILLINGS, MT (June 21-22) - Troy Leiker and Jeremy Meirhofer were winners in WISSOTA Dirt Track Series action June 21-22 at Big Sky Speedway, as the track hosted its portion of the Mountain States Modified Tour.

Friday night, Leiker started outside the second row of the WISSOTA Midwest Modified feature and took the lead with just two laps to go to score the series victory, his fifth of the season. Polesitter Bart Taylor slipped back to second at the finish, Meirhofer was third, Darin Hauff was fourth, and Nathan Kenaston charged from 14th at the start to complete the top five.

Saturday evening, Meirhofer led from flag to flag for the Midwest Modified victory, his third of the season. Leiker, who started 10th, came up short of a back-to-back performance in second. Tony Leiker, Taylor and Justin Will — who started 11th — finished in the top five.

In the track’s other action, Tommie Quenzer (Legends), Gage Madler (Legends), and Eric Mass (Modifieds), were feature winners.
