Kloos Gets First Ever Summer Nationals Win at Belle Clair
BELLEVILLE, Ill. (June 29, 2011) - Michael Kloos of Trenton, Ill.,
became the third different first-time winner on the DIRTcar Summer
Nationals Hell Tour Wednesday night at Belle Clair Speedway.
Kloos, a weekly DIRTcar Late Model warrior around the St. Louis area,
started second and powered around Billy Moyer Jr., of Batesville, Ark.,
on the lesser used top groove near the midpoint of the 40-lap main event
to take over the lead. Kloos held off a charge from second place
finisher Ryan Unzicker of El Paso, Ill., late in the race to claim his
first Hell Tour victory worth $5,000. Moyer crossed the line third ahead
of St. Charles, Mo., driver Mike Hammerle. Mark Voight of Marine, Ill.,
was fifth.
Summer Nationals championship points leader Shannon Babb of Moweaqua,
Ill., struggled throughout the event, finishing 14th in the feature
after using a provisional to make the field. Scott James of
Martinsville, Ind., who sits second in points finished one spot ahead of
Babb after also using a provisional. Defending Summer Nationals Champion
Jason Feger of Bloomington, Ill., finished 10th.
