Spatola two for two in Late Model action at Kankakee

KANKAKEE, Ill (May 13) - In UMP Late Model action, Manhattan's Mike Spatola made it two-for-two, despite not having the most dominant car this week.  Pole sitter Mike Provenzano launched out to the early lead and looked to have things in control.  But even as the field was racing four wide down the front stretch. Tonica's Scott Schmitt rocketed by everyone to take the lead and pull out to a straightaway lead.  But with about 10 laps to go Schmitt slowed coming down the front stretch and pulled to the infield grass while circling, waiting for the field to drive by before pulling his car off the track into the pit area with radiator overheating issues.  It seems Schmitt's radiator had some mud blocking the air flow causing the water temp to max out.  Spatola by this time was firmly holding down the second spot after passing Hebron's (IN) Shawn Toczek, who was making his return to the dirt after a year off, subbing in for Gary Schalmo, who was taking the night off due to work commitments, and Provenzano.  Spatola, who started ninth after winning the first heat race, set his sights on a repeat win and went unchallenged over the final seven laps.  Provenzano crossed the stripe in second for the second straight week, while Toczek shook off the rust to finish third.  Kerry Mathew of Rensselear, IN finished fourth while Randy Manos took fifth.

Spatola and Provenzano captured heat race wins while Provenzano was fast qualifier at 14.359 seconds.
