Passing was at a premium in the Fire-Up Fireworks WISSOTA Street Stock. Jordan Kurtti from Bruce Crossing, MI took the lead from the outside pole on the initial start, but would have to do it again when John Osterman spun in turn four.

On the restart, Kurtti took the lead from Chad Boettcher in turn two. That proved to be the winning move. Boettcher stayed within two car lengths of Kurtti for the duration of the 15-lap feature, but could never make a pass. The 18-year old Kurtti claimed his second straight feature win at Riverside. Boettcher, Jim Randall, Craig Tarsi and Lee Christjohn rounded out the top five.

It took Chad Rosinski just three laps into the Pure Stock feature and held off eventually held off Jeff McDonald in a green-white-checkered finish, set up by problems on the Kevin Maulson, Jr. car. For Rosinski, it was his fourth win of the season at Riverside. His point lead over McDonald remained at three points.

It was sixteen-year old Eric Scharf who took the win in the Family Four class. He led all ten lap of the feature to claim his second win of 2006.

Racing continues Tuesday night at Riverside. Hot Laps start at 7:30. Racing beings at 8:00.
