Hejna Grabs Win In Fountain City [Fountain City, WI] - - The fifth event in the Hunt for the USMTS National Championship produced a fifth different winner Friday night as Al Hejna captured the Holley "A" Main at the Tri-Oval Speedway in Fountain City, Wis.

Polesitter Jake Neal led the first circuit of the 30-lap main event before giving way to AFCO Pole Award winner Dean Mahlstedt.

Mahlstedt's reign was cut short four laps later when mechanical woes sidelined the Clear Lake, Iowa, pilot.

Hejna—also from Clear Lake—assumed the top spot and paced the final 25 laps to claim his first win of the Hunt and third overall this season. (from www.usmts.com)

Hejna started the Hunt for the USMTS Championship Friday, August 8th with a solid 3rd place finish at the Midway Speedway (Lebanon, MO).

With five races in the books for the USMTS Championship, Hejna sits 5th overall in the point standings.
