Cryderman Begins Where He Left Off

2002 AMSOIL Late Model Series Champ Begins New Season With Win

Superior, WI ~ Joel Cryderman of Thunder Bay, Ontario made a strong bid to repeat as AMSOIL Late Model Series Champion with a convincing win at Hibbing Raceway. Cryderman set a blistering pace in the 35-lap main event last evening. The red headed Canadian earned a spot on the front row for a race restart and shortly thereafter checked out leaving the rest of the field in his wake.

Hours of moderate rain threatened the postponement of the AMSOIL event, but quit with just hours before the scheduled start. The Hibbing track crew did a heroic job of grooming the clay track and making the soggy pit area manageable for the 48 cars and teams that came from across the upper Midwest to race.

Cryderman takes the early lead in the 2003 AMSOIL Late Model Series, but with a strong performance Steve Laursen is in second, Tom Waselseki is third, John Kaanta fourth and Duane Mahder rounds out the top five.

Northern Lights Casino and Cellular One sponsored this AMSOIL Series race. The 2003 AMSOIL Late Model series is sponsored in part by KQDS-TV FOX 21 and WEBC-AM 560.

The next race is set for the new and improved Proctor Speedway on June 24.
