Father #9 Bill Retallick and son #1 Rob Retallick, battle it out for the lead in round 2 of the Pepsi Triple 60's.   Expierance was the factor this event as the elder Retallick, Bill, would score the Late Model feature win. #20 Rikki Bishofberger tries to hold off the charging #4 Don Trush but cant seem to hang on to the lead during the Street Stock feature.  Trush would score the victory in the contest. #33 Jim Robinson won his Hobby Stock heat and then went on to beat out #27 Jime Tate Jr. for the Feature win.

Rob began a slide back as far as fourth that looked to be permanent. Caution fell on lap six for a spinning John Wasserburger of Poynette who collected the vehicles of rookie Tim Woollen and Brian Paszek. Wasserburger tried to continue but had suffered severe front suspension damage. On the restart fast qualifier (13.497) Steve Dobratz of Rio tried to make the outside groove work for him with limited success.

By the midway point Bill Retallick had found separation between himself and second place Clayton Braaksma who was being challenged on the outside by Rob Retallick. The caution flag would fly again on lap thirty-eight after contact between Mike Taylor of Stoughton and Waterloo's Aaron Wilke sent Taylor around on the back straight away. On the restart Rob Retallick made a strong push for second when Tyler James of Oconomowoc spun on the back straight away of lap forty.
Retallick would officially take the second spot on lap forty-two as caution fell for the final time for a spinning Jim Syvrud. Syvrud of Portage had been sparring with Andy Wendt for the seventh position.

Rob would challenge father Bill Retallick on the outside and race side by side but would not be able to take away the position. At the finish of the Pepsi Triple 60 Round 2 Feature It would be Bill Retallick followed by Rob Retallick, last week's feature winner Clayton Braaksma, Ron Bishofberger and Don Gaserude both from Fort Atkinson.

Don Trush made a strong charge from back in field to the fourth spot when caution fell as Brandon Riedner spun in the center of turns one and two. On the restart Trush would quickly dispatch the second and third place cars of Jim Rohrbeck and Dustin Ward to challenge Bishofberger for the lead. Caution slowed the race on lap twenty as Dan Schmidt of Watertown spun. Trush would take the lead soon after the restart. The field would take the white flag second place Rikki Bishofberger spun in turns three and four.

In Hobby Stock Feature action Tony Chase and Andy Raley took the green flag. Kevin Zielski of Oconomowoc suffered a flat tire in the first turn and almost got out of the groove when he was run over by Mike Amador of Mazomanie. The incident earned the field a complete restart. Chase would grab the early lead and would be followed closely by Jim
Robinson. Lapped traffic made the difference as Robinson used Coletta Gomes to box in Chase in turn three. The next lap Chase would get out of shape and collect last week's feature winner Alan Dorn in turn two. In the ensuing melee Lincoln Keeser and Mike Storkson would tangle and spin in turn three. Robinson would lead the field to the green where
Lincoln Keeser and Storkson would make contact again only this time Keeser's tire separated from the rim ending his evening.

Caution fell on lap seven for Ben Lewis who was parked in turns one and two. With Nick Nolden in a commanding lead the battle was for second. Tom Bleeker found his way around the outside of Ryan
Oetzel. Brian Johnson found his way through the field and took away the second position on lap twelve just as Nolden began to hit lapped traffic. Nolden's lead would shrink dramatically but, Johnson would run out of time. As they crossed the line it would be Nolden, Johnson, Bleeker, Ryan Hart of Edgerton, and Fast Qualifier Ryan DeStefano out of Colgate (16.912).
