Gunderson Grabs First 2013 UMSS Micro Win
By UMSS.
The UMSS Micro sprints saw the second visit of the 2013 summer from an old friend, Greg Gunderson, who dominated the division last summer, made the six hour trek from South Dakota to The Valley on Friday, August 9. After taking a nasty spill a week ago, Ty Sampair was looking for a triumphant clean-sweep come back from his pole starting position with Bryan Patrick starting on the outside. Sampair looked strong from the start, snatching the early lead with Gunderson and Collin Olson in dogged pursuit. It took just a lap and a half for “Silent Thunder” Gunderson to overtake Sampair as the new pacesetter. Gunderson was his unflappable self once in the lead while Olson powered by Sampair for second. The top three running order was unchanged until a late spin by Olson put Sampair back up to the runner-up with just three laps remaining. Back under green, Gunderson powered to an impressive win over Sampair, Patrick, Sandy Trasseth and Allison Berger.
