Schott, Davis take USRA Modified wins at Deer Creek Speedway


SPRING VALLEY, Minn.--First feature of the night was the continued USRA Modified feature from two weeks ago which was cancelled due to rain. Cory Crapser led on the restart while Jacob Dahle took over the second spot. Brandon Davis charged into the third spot. Up front Crapser slowly pulled away until lap five when a caution flew over the speedway. On the restart Crapser jumped out front with Brandon Davis moving into the second spot. Jason Cummins found the top side to his liking and moved into the top five.

Unfortunately on the next Cummins slowed and Mike Mehling found himself in a bad spot as the two made heavy contact ending their nights. On the restart Crapser held onto the lead with David and Dahle chasing him up front. With ten down Bob Timm and Dahle battled for the third spot with Timm taking over the spot on lap eleven. Darwyn Karau worked past Dahle on lap twelve for the fourth spot with Lucas Schott following through shortly for fifth. With fifteen complete Schott and Karau battled for the fourth spot.

Up front Davis worked Crapser hard for the lead and took over the top spot on lap twenty. Schott gained the fourth spot as the field ran to the checkers. Davis took home the win followed by Crapser, Timm, Schott and Karau.

With 38 cars on hand again this week the Wagner Trucking USRA B-Mods making the feature was a feat in itself. John VanMinsel jumped out to the early lead with Andrew Bleess, Brandon Hare and Tanner Johnston three wide for the second spot. Hare took control of the second spot on lap two with Bleess now in third. With four down Erik Kanz came alive and moved past Bleess for the third spot.

With six laps in the book the top four were all running close. On lap seven Kanz continued his charge and moved past Hare for second and on lap nine took the lead away from VanMinsel. With thirteen laps completed a three wide race for the sixth spot didn't turn out well bringing out the first caution of the event. Kanz held onto the lead on the restart with hare in second. VanMinsel held on strong in third until lap fifteen when Shaun Walski moved into the third spot. With two to go the battle up front changed drastically, Hare slid up in front of Kanz to take over the lead with Kanz turning back down and retaking the lead as the white flew.

Again Hare tried to take over the top spot but Kanz drove hard and was able to get back around Hare before the checkers flew over the field. At the finish it was Kanz with the win, hare, Walski, AJ Zvorak and Corey Crapser in the top five. Heat races were won by Zvorak, Crapser, Kanz and Queensland.

Josh Angst, Bob Timm and Dustin Sorensen went three wide for lap one of the NAPA AutoCare USRA Modified event. Timm took control of the 25 lap feature race with Lucas Schott making a strong run on lap two splitting Angst and Sorensen to take over the second spot. A caution on lap four setup the restart with Timm leading and Schott in second. Angst sat in third with Brandon Davis and Steve Wetzstein racing for the fourth spot.

Davis moved into fourth on lap nine and started to pressure Angst for the third spot. With Davis just to his inside Angst slowly moved his down the speedway slightly just enough for Davis not to get a good enough drive off the corner to take away the spot. UP front Timm ran up against the wall with Schott making up ground every corner running through the middle while Timm and his momentum kept him up front at the line every lap. The fans were on their feet as the white flag flew. Davis slowly edge past Angst for the third spot. But everyone was watching up front. Schott threw caution into the wind drove into turn three as hard as he could, turned the car into four and let it drift. It drifted all the way to Timm who was inches away from the wall, a couple sparks flew and then both cars came flying out of turn four.

At the line it was Schott with the win by 8/1000ths of a second. The crowd roared as they crossed the finish line. Schott took home the followed by Timm, Davis, Angst and Wetzstein. Heat races were won by Davis, Schott and Cory Crapser
