BILLINGS, MT (September 21) - Big Sky Speedway hosted the final night of the Kelly Hample Memorial weekend Saturday, September 21, with WISSOTA Dirt Track Series winners including Lynn Amick, Troy Leiker, and Troy Cepak, Jr.

In the WISSOTA Late Model feature, Eddie Kirchoff and Jeremy Castro crossed the stripe in first and second but were later DQ’d, elevating Lynn Amick to the feature victory and the big check. Twenty-third starter and Kelly’s son, Ty, finished second, while 13th-starter Rock Degele was third. Dwayne Fowler and 10th-starter Chris Dunn were top-five finishers.

Leiker made it back-to-back victories in the WISSOTA Midwest Mods. He topped Jeremy Meirhofer, Connor Friske, 10th-starter Chad Switzenberg, and Rod Lorenz in the top five.

In the WISSOTA Street Stocks, Cepak started outside of the second row, gaining the lead around lap seven. He drove off to the eventual .665-second victory ahead of eighth-starter Dillon Hoppe. Caden Craver, Marvin Gonzales and Brock Salsbury rounded out the top five.

In the track’s other action, Eddie Kirchoff (IMCA Modifieds), Chas Matye (IMCA Sport Compacts), and Chris Williams (Big Sky Wingless Sprints) were winners to conclude action in Billings for the weekend.
