FOUNTAIN CITY, WI (Friday May 10th, 2019) – First-Time Open Late Model Pilot Jake Timm rose to the level of ROYALTY Friday night during the Dirt Kings Late Model Tour Visit to MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY!

In the words of DIRT KINGS TOUR Social Media, "Jake Timm is King!"

Jake Timm made his first ever super late model start in the DiscountShopTowels.com Dirt Kings Late Model Tour Rumble by the River 40 presented by NAPA at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY and when it was over, Timm celebrated his first late model win in Mueller's Sales and Service Victory Lane. Timm started on the pole, after the redraw where he picked the lowest number. Timm led all 40 laps enroute to his first late model win, earning a $150 bonus sponsored by Kirkpatrick Law Office in addition to the $3000 payday.

23 drivers took the green flag in the Rumble by the River 40, with caution slowing the field just once on lap 23 when Don Shaw's car slowed coming off turn four. While Timm worked with lapped traffic most of the race, Stockbridge Engineering Touring King Brett Swedberg was in pursuit. Swedberg made several attempts to pass Timm, but was not able to overtake Timm for the lead.

On the restart, Timm pulled away from Lance Mathees, Swedberg and Jimmy Mars. Mars advanced to the second position on the next lap, but was never able to mount a charge for the lead. Timm crossed the finish line 2.296 seconds ahead of Mars, followed by Mathees, Swedberg, and defending two-time Dirt Kings Late Model Tour Champion, Nick Anvelink.

Stockbridge Engineering Touring King Justin Ritchie received the $100 bonus from Kirkpatrick Law Office, as the highest finishing Sunoco Racing Rookie of the Year contender.

FORMER TRACK CHAMPION WAITS RETURNS TO MTS VICTORY LANE

Brad Waits jumped to the front of the field at the drop of the green flag and never once looked back, on his way to the Rivercity Manufacturing USRA Modified feature win.

Waits backed up his heat-race win, by leading the feature flag-to-flag while the rest of the field wrestled for scraps behind his NFG #24. On lap 16, last week's feature winner (and former Track Champion) Lucas Schott worked forward from his starting position on the inside of the fourth row to steal second from opening week feature winner Adam Hensel. Hensel faded to fourth as Hensel and first-heat-race winner A.J. Diemel worked by for second and third.

After winning the $3,000 Late Model Feature, third heat race winner Timm languished outside of the top-10 for the entire Modified feature.

MENSINK WINS VERY FIRST HOBBY STOCK FEATURE

Jay Mensink entered the evening with his mind on the fund raiser for family friend Gabby Brown. On an evening when over $4,000 was raised for the Iowa youngster who is battling AML, a rare form of leukemia in October, perhaps everyone would have understood if his attention was not strictly focused upon the on-track battles; but nothing was further from the truth.

Mensink enjoyed a strout ride that took him from his tenth place starting position (in the 25 car field) to the front of the pack and his very first USRA Hobby Stock feature win! Third heat-race winner Chris Hovden stayed near the front but had to settle for the second place spot in the finishing order.

Prior week's feature winner Nick Schwebach drove a car that was crumpled and crushed, from an early race caution, to a solid third-place finish.

HOVDEN WINS B-MOD FEATURE

Dan Hovden put together a 'clean sweep' - winning both his heat race and the evening's feature in the Black Horse Bar & Grill USRA B-Mod feature.

Opening night feature winner Taylor Skauge raced to a second place finish just ahead of Alex Williamson in third.
