From track reports

WAUSEON, Ohio (June 20) — Matt Miller of Waterville, Ohio, maintained his hot streak of Oakshade Raceway on Saturday in the Butch Wildermuth Memorial with a $2,000 Sunoco American Late Model Series victory. The fourth-starting Miller took the lead from polesitter Rick DeLong of Whitehouse, Ohio, an on early restart and never looked back.

Miller, who won the previous weekend's Barney Oldfield Memorial, has three victories and a second-place finish in four 2009 trips to Oakshade.

Outside front-row starter and reigning ALMS champion Rusty Schlenk of Jackson, Mich., finished second followed by Tyler Boggs of Warsaw, Ind., who advanced five spots to finish third. DeLong was fourth and 11th-starting Jon Henry of Ada, Ohio, rounded out the top five at the 3/8-mile oval. Henry maintained his series points lead. Rich Neiser of Fruitport, Mich., started third and ran among the leaders early before rolling to a stop on the fourth lap.
