Mass Masters Gondik Law; Wins 20th Annual Twin Ports Twin 25's Kendall Keeps Pace; Tops Second Twin Feature

The 2025 Structural Buildings WISSOTA Late Model Challenge Series powered by Momentum Truck Group, Freightliner, Western Star and driven by Minnesota Truck Headquarters kicked off a massive Labor Day weekend as the series rolled into the Gondik Law Speedway in Superior, Wisconsin for the rescheduled Twin Ports Twin 25’s and saw East Bethel, Minnesota’s Dave Mass race off to his first career series victory in the first 25-lap feature race and then saw Billy Kendall, from Walker, MN, race to his first ever Twin 25’s victory in the second feature of the night.

The Wednesday night event saw Kendall trip the clock at a 15.651 second lap to set fast time honors. Jeff Provinzino, Mass, Jayme Lautigar, Kevin Eder and Travis Budisalovich topped the five qualifying heat races early in the night’s program mains and Kendall and Shane Sabraski won the night’s twin b-main to set the feature starting lineup.

After heat race action was completed, Ashley Anderson and Jake Hartung earned the front row for the night’s first twin $2,500 to win, 25-lap feature event with Hartung getting the upper hand on the initial start and leading the field into turn number one and lead the opening lap.

With Hartung leading out front, Anderson and third starting Mass began a side by side battle for second early on until the first caution of the 25-lap event flew on lap 4. On the restart, Mass overhauled Hartung for the top spot, as Anderson pulled alongside Jake’s #05 for second.

After a quick caution on lap #5, Mass began to stretch his advantage around the bottom of the ultra-smooth Gondik Law Speedway, while Kevin Eder, Travis Budisalovich and Jeff Provinzino began to do battle for fourth.

The battles waged on throughout the field until the third and final caution of the event flew on lap 11 for a tangle in turn two, bunching the field once again.

On the restart, Mass blasted around the 3/8 mile red clay oval with Anderson taking the second spot, while Hartung, Dave Flynn and Eder were in a great battle just behind.

As the leaders raced off into the Twin Ports night, several great battles were ongoing for the runner up spot and for fifth as the race continued without incident past the halfway point.

The laps clicked off quickly with Mass racing into lapped traffic, although he was not slowed at all by the back of the field as he raced away from the competition and to his first career Challenge Series victory for his efforts. Anderson ran second with Flynn advancing 10 positions to claim third. Eder and Budisalovich rounded out the top five.

The second 25-lap feature saw Hartung and Kendall share the front row after Mass drew an 11 for the invert. On the start, the front row drag raced around the track with Hartung leading Kendall by the slightest of margins on the opening several laps until Jayme Lautigar joined the mix and moved by Hartung into the second spot. Once the #54L got to second, he raced after Kendall out front, closing in on Billy and waging a war for the lead.

Just behind the great battle for the top spot, Budisalovich and Kyle Peterlin were in a thrilling battle for third as well as the leaders were trying to decide the outcome of the race out front.

The second half of the second Twin 25’s was only slowed by one single caution on lap 14, but Kendall was up to the challenge on the restart as he went on to lead the final 11 laps to race off to his first career Twin 25’s victory with Anderson nipping Lautigar at the finish line for second. Budisalovich and Peterlin rounded out the top five finishers.

Anderson was presented with an additional $500 bonus for having the best combined feature finishes with a pair of second place runs for his efforts.

Darrell Nelson won a whale of a WISSOTA Modified feature, jumping outside of the second row to overhaul early race leader Al Uotinen for the top spot and then surviving a wild battle from Jody Bellefeuille for the top spot over the final five circuits to win a 0.022 second photo finish. Brady Uotinen charged from 13th to third, while Ryan Gierke and Mike Anderson rounded out the top five. Tom Treviranus won the WISSOTA Pure Stock feature by over 5 seconds in a dominant run to round out the night. Aaron Bernick ran second with Dylan Helget edging Eric Crosby for third.
