Cummins, Wheeler dominate Chateau Raceway features

LANSING, Minn. -- It was a picture perfect day for Kids Free Night at the Chateau Raceway Friday evening.

A field of twenty L&D Ag USRA B-Mods took the green for their 15-lap feature. It would not go the full distance, however, as numerous yellow flags cut five laps off the race. It took the fifth attempt to get the first green flag lap in as the pack of cars had a very tough time of it.

Dan Wheeler came off of row 2 to dominate the race which ended up going 10 laps with another green-white-checkered finish. Cody Gardner came home in second with Josh Mattick third. Terry Kohnert ran a fine race to finish fourth and A.J. Zvorak would be awarded fifth.

After the race, fifth-place finisher Jerry Young and Kylie Kath were disqualified for post-race unsportsmanlike conduct.

Jason Cummins blew off the outside of row 1 and dominated the 25-lap French’s Repair & Fabrication USRA Modified feature.

Damon Haslip and Todd Scharkey went at it tooth and nail for quite a few laps before Scharkey took over. Cummins was way out front by then in the race that went without a single caution.

It was Cummins' first win of the season, as Scharkey finished second. Brandon Davis raced from tenth to third with Jacob Dahle and Haslip completed the top five.

Front row starters Haslip and Cummins both turned down the chance at the Brew Pub Pizza Front Row Challenge, so the bonus will rise to $1,600 next week.
