ESTEVAN - Manor drivers were top racers during the Dirt Wars program at the Estevan Motor Speedway this past weekend.
Dirt Wars is an annual two-night showdown for the track's hobby stock class. The driver with the most points over the two nights is declared the winner.
Kruz Wilson of Manor won Saturday's feature race to pick up 40 points. Combined with the 39 points he had the previous night for a second-place finish, he had a total of 79 points.
His father, Mike, won the feature Friday night - his first-ever feature race win at the speedway.
After winning Saturday's race, Kruz climbed onto the roof of his hobby stock, accepted the Dirt Wars Trophy and hoisted it above his head.
But he was also emotional after his father won the feature on Friday. When Mike Wilson pulled into victory lane, Kruz ran up to him and gave him a big hug.
“That was surreal. Following him that whole last lap, I was crying. I was thinking ‘Come on dad, coax it home,'" said Kruz.
The Wilsons have been racing in the hobby stock class for a number of years.
