The final Miniakota event of 2012 was co-sanctioned with the UMSS Micros based in Wis as 20 Micro filled the pits on Friday night. Trey Thesenvitz and Sandy Traaseth paced the twenty micros to Shaun Cimfl’s green flag with Thesenvitz holding the point early. Fourth and fifth starting Kris Wilke and Wade Huisman quickly squirted up to second and third and Wilke eyed up Thesenvitz. By lap three, Kalab Johnson worked around Huisman and into third while Thesenvitz stretched his lead up front. By the race’s midpoint, SCVR regular Ty Sampair had cracked the top three and front of the pack would remain unchanged up to the end. Thesenvitz made the long haul from Jasper, MN worthwhile by posting a win in his SCVR debut in front of Wilke, Sampair, Chris Breen and Mike Nichols.

After Nichols and Gunner Cummings led the field to green on Saturday night, many of the same players from Friday ran up front again. Nichols led with Cummings holding second through lap four before when #97B of Breen claimed second. With Nichols leading, Breen jostled for position with Wilke, Ryan Schuur and Huisman. There were no changes in the top three over the final six laps, resulting in the first career micro win for Nichols, the Brookings, South Dakota eighth grader. Behind the elated Nichols were Breen, Wilke, Huisman and 2012 MinIaKota champion Tim Ottenbacher.

Miniakota/UMSS Micro Sprints – Friday feature: Trey Thesenvitz, Kris Wilke, Ty Sampair, Chris Breen, Mike Nichols, Tim Ottenbacher, Ryan Hargan, Jason Wagoner, Allison Berger, Dalton Johnson, Greg Gunderson, Gunner Cummings, Bryan Patrick, Kalab Johnson, Wade Huisman, Ryan Schuur, Joe Jesmore, Colin Hastings, Sandy Traaseth, Tony Duran.
