Shane Sabraski earned $3,000 with his Granite City victory.
What won the race: Sliding under Jesse Glenz in turns three and four after a lap 25-restart, division rookie Shane Sabraski of Rice, Minn., led the rest of Sunday's 40-lapper at Granite City Motor Park for his second Structural Buildings WISSOTA Challenge Series victory of the weekend. The third-starting Sabraski earned $3,000 in pulling away to take the checkers 3.335 seconds ahead of Tyler Peterson with polesitter Kevin Burdick, who led the first seven laps, in third. Glenz, who led laps 8-25, settled for fourth in searching for his first series victory since 2021.
Quotable: "It seemed like the restart before that I was really good, like I rolled by Tyler (Peterson and (Kevin) Burdick there. And then on that last restart, I thought maybe I'd have a shot again," Sabraski said. "I don't know if my tires cooled down exactly or what happened but it just seemed like it tractioned up good and I had a good run on Jesse, so I just went for it."
Key notes: Sabraski captured his ninth victory in his rookie Late Model season. The multidivision WISSOTA champion also notched his 906th career victory overall. ... Sabraski captured his second WISSOTA Challenge victory of the weekend.
