Slinger Super Speedway Results
What a day at the track!
A stacked field of
27 drivers rolled into Slinger Super Speedway ready to take on the high banks. When qualifying wrapped up, only
21 drivers earned a spot in the feature, while six were left on the outside looking in. The fast, demanding oval proved once again that Slinger can challenge even the most talented drivers, but with every lap, competitors gained confidence and speed around the historic speedway.

- Marty Tackes
- Misty Benn
- Al Strobel
- Merek Pankow
Those five drivers secured the final spots in the night's main event.
The Feature
The moment everyone had been waiting for had arrived.
Brandon Tackes and
George Sparkman led the field to the green flag, and Sparkman wasted no time taking command of the race. Behind him, drivers raced fiercely for every position as the high-banked speedway delivered non-stop action.
A caution on
Lap 10 bunched the field back together and reset the battle up front.
When racing resumed,
Phil Malouf surged into the lead while
Karter Stark applied heavy pressure from second with
Josh Rusch right in the mix. Stark finally made his move on
Lap 14, taking over the top spot and beginning to stretch his advantage over the field.
As the laps clicked away, the competition only intensified. Cars traded positions throughout the pack, several competitors encountered issues, and all eyes turned to fast qualifier
Jason Uttech, who was steadily carving his way toward the front.
By
Lap 20, Stark remained firmly in control, but the battle behind him was heating up. Uttech continued his charge and finally overtook Phil Malouf for second place on
Lap 27, setting his sights on the leader.
Then came the dramatic finish.
Just as it looked like Stark had the race in hand, Uttech found another gear. In the closing laps, Jason completed an incredible comeback, taking over the lead and racing away to score the victory in the
Slinger Super Speedway Super Beez Feature.
Final Thoughts
Wow. Just wow.
Few could have predicted a finish like that. The racing was intense from green flag to checkered flag, and the competitors put on an incredible show for everyone in attendance.
A huge thank you goes out to
Slinger Super Speedway for hosting the event, and to
Scott Hoeft for organizing the
Badger State Four Banger Shootout and inviting the Super Beez to be part of the program.
