STURGEON BAY, Wis. -- Seven-time defending O’Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series national champion Kelly Shryock of Fertile, Iowa, scored a knockout punch at Thunderhill Raceway Wednesday night, leading all 40 laps of the Forest County Potawatomi Wisconsin Summer Nationals presented by 105.7 WAPL to capture his eighth victory of the 2006 racing season.

Lapping all but the top nine finishers, Shryock pocketed $2,000 to bring his season winnings total to more than $25,000 as he padded his national points lead, as well as his advantage in the Reich Concrete/Yeager Machine Northeast Region for the O’Reilly USMTS.

With a $1,000 bonus on the line for any Wisconsin driver able to take the win, Mike Wedelstadt of Hortonville came closest as he finished fourth behind Shryock, Watertown, S.D.'s Jon Tesch and Tommy Myer of Blooming Prairie, Minn. Ryan Ruter of Forest City, Iowa, rounded out the top five finishers.

The O’Reilly USMTS teams wrap up the annual Wisconsin swing on Friday, June 9, at the Fox Ridge Speedway in Arcadia, Wis. The show will pay $2,000 to win and a minimum of $200 to start, with points being awarded in the Reich Concrete/Yeager Machine Northeast Region.
