Terry Bogusz

Justin Schroeder took the lead on lap 20 and went on to win the ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Model race at Flat Rock Speedway on Saturday night.
Harrison Township resident Frank Jiovani, who was fifth, had the highest finish among five Macomb County drivers who started the 50-lap race that included multiple caution periods.
"That was a rough race. People weren't giving much room out there," Jiovani said. "To come home in mostly one piece is a good night."
Stan Yee Jr. of Clinton Township led the first 19 laps, but Canton resident Schroeder passed him on lap 20, and Yee Jr. got shuffled back in what started as an 18-car field.
Terry Bogusz (Shelby Township) was unable to finish the race after being involved in multiple incidents on the quarter-mile oval.
"A lot of inexperienced drivers out there who don't know racing courtesy yet," Bogusz said. "It happens."
Derrick Sheppard (Mount Clemens) and Jim Alvis (Lenox Township) were also in the race.
Last Saturday, the 50-lap feature race included no caution flags.
"Kind of the complete opposite," Jiovani said. "Carnage and destruction. It's a tight bullring."

Brad Riethmeyer

Brad Riethmeyer finished first and Harrison Township's Frank Jiovani was second in the 50-lap ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Model feature race at Flat Rock Speedway on Saturday night.
Riethmeyer, 30, from Mooresville, N.C., navigated through lapped traffic to extend his lead after about 30 laps in the race that was run without a caution flag.
"My spotter helped me get through the traffic," Riethmeyer, driver of the No. 56 car, said.
Riethmeyer, who has made some starts in the NASCAR truck series, is running the ARCA Gold Cup races and selected others in a late model.
"It's been a lot of fun," he said.
Jiovani, who started the race third in driver points, said his engine might have lost a cylinder during the race.
"Coming away with second is pretty good, since we were a little down on power." Jiovani said. "We were hoping for a yellow to get even with (Riethmeyer). He got away from us."
Jiovani has been involved in only one other all-green feature at Flat Rock. That was his first late model race at the quarter-mile track.
"This place is tough, it's so small," the 2013 Flat Rock Rookie of the Year said. "It's lapped traffic after lapped traffic (in long green-flag runs).
"We're happy with the finish."
