Gilbertson grabs invitational victory in ABC Raceway debut

Matt kicked off his Labor Day weekend with a rare trip to the ABC Raceway in Ashland, WI on Thursday night for the track's Prelude to the Clay special event and raced away with a clean sweep of the event, his first ever win at the track. He won his heat race from the outside of the front row, redrew the pole for the feature and lead every lap, withstanding heavy pressure from several competitors to pick up the invitational victory!

After taking Friday night off, he made his way to the Viking Speedway in Alexandria, MN for the annual Fallen Linesman race and after running second in his heat race, he started 7th in the main and worked his way up to a 4th place finish for his efforts.

Then on Sunday, he made the trip back to the Casino Speedway in Watertown, SD and won his heat race before starting 8th in the main event but unfortunately falling out of the race before the checkered flag flew.

On to the Seitz Memorial this weekend!
