What won the race: Regaining the lead from reigning series champ Dave Mass on the 24th lap, fourth-starting James Giossi of Hudson, Wis., led the rest of Wednesday's 40-lap Structural Buildings WISSOTA Challenge Series event at Gondik Law Speedway for a $3,000 payday. Mass went under Giossi to lead laps 22-23, but the fourth-starting Giossi's high-running No. 11 swept back ahead amid traffic and he captured his second career series victory by 1.146 seconds over polesitter Kevin Eder.
Quotable: "That was a hard 40 laps," Giossi said. "I kept seeing Dave circle that bottom pretty good and he was probably the better car overall. If I just hit my marks right, we had a lot of speed, and when I didn't, I could tell because he would pull up on the bottom."
Key notes: James Giossi notched his fifth overall victory of the season, three at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wis., and one at Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie, Wis. ... Giossi, who led laps 8-21 and 24-40, previously won on the WISSOTA Challenge circuit in 2018 at Proctor (Minn.) Speedway's Silver 1000. ... Giossi took command from polesitter Kevin Eder on a lap-eight restart with a third-to-first move. ... Second-finishing Eder led laps 1-2 and 6-7, then took second from Dave Mass with six laps remaining and took one serious shot at Giossi in turn four but settled for second. ... Ashley Anderson rallied to take third from Mass on the final lap. ... Outside front-row starter Billy Kendall led laps 3-5 but faded to finish 12th. ... Two cautions slowed the race, the first for Tyler Peterson's retirement on the eighth lap. ... A lap-35 caution appeared for debris. ... The 20-minute feature concluded at 9:28 p.m. ... Fifteen drivers completed 40 laps. ... Jeff Massingill scratched after time trials. ... The event, a prelude to the 54th annual Silver 1000 at Proctor, kicked off a five-race Labor Day weekend on the series.
On the move: Ashley Anderson of Elk Mound, Wis., started 11th and finished third.
