LAKE COUNTY SPEEDWAY - MADISON, SD
JULY 8, 2006
Commentary by Heather Riffel
July 8, 2006-Madison, SD) Saturday night was filled
with the typical thrilling racing action that Lake County Speedway
sees every weekend. There were a few drivers who continued their
domination this season while others broke into the winner’s circle
for the first time this year. The spirit of the night was dampened
when a serious racing accident injured a competitor sending him to the
hospital.
Andy Anderson and Gerod Olivier battled for the early
race lead in the Heartland Racing Association Wingless Sprint Car
feature. Olivier won the battle and continued to lead the race. Bret
Mellenberndt was able to move his way up and challenge for the race
lead on lap seven. Olivier was tough and it did not look like
Mellenberndt was going to be able to complete the pass but on the last
lap he was able to get by Olivier. Mellenberndt picked up his fourth
trophy of the year. He was followed by Olivier. Anderson finished in
the third position while Doug Martens finished in fourth.
