Finally, Mother Nature provided a picture perfect evening for racing at Deer Creek Speedway. This week featured the Firecracker special with racing in all five divisions, school bus races and a huge fireworks display to end the program.

This week’s event was presented by Trom Transport, Construction Partnership, BK Millright, Adams Graphix and Charlie’s Auto Repair. A huge crowd was on hand and a big field of 114 cars signed in to race.

Brandon Hare and Nick Wagner led the 24-car field to the green in the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature. Hare took the early advantage with J.T. Wasmund to second and Wagner hung with the lead duo. Wasmund took the lead on lap two and Wagner worked to second.

Wagner flew on the top side and took the lead from Wasmund on lap four. Kadden Kath drove to third and was close behind the leaders. Kath then raced Wasmund for second while Wagner extended his lead until lap 13 when the caution flag came out.

Wagner took off on the restart and led the last five laps to score his first career win. Wagner also became the seventh different winner in seven weekly shows. Kath outdueled Wasmund for second place. Hare ended up in the fourth spot and Jim Chisholm finished in the fifth position.

Six-time track champion Jason Cummins redrew the pole position for the 25-lap USRA Modified feature. Jacob Dahle started on his outside when the field came to the green flag.

Cummins scooted to the lead and opened up a big advantage early. Levi Nielsen got by Dahle for second and Lucas Schott challenged Dahle for third. Cummins was checked out up front when the leaders entered lapped traffic on lap 12.

Cummins had a couple of issues with the lapped cars and Nielsen reeled him in. Nielsen was right with Cummins on lap 17 when the caution flag flew. That would give clear track for the pack on the restart and Cummins took full advantage of that.

Cummins took off and Nielsen bounced off the wall that cost him a few positions. Schott was second and Dustin Sorensen was third. Jake Timm came from 14th and was into the top five.

Cummins led the rest of the way for his fourth win of the season and ninth overall. Schott remained in second with Sorensen third. Timm got to fourth, but Brad Waits snuck past him on the final lap to take the spot away.


Jason Cummins won the USRA Modified feature.

Eight school buses ran a 10-lap feature to end the racing portion of the show. After an exciting battle with Chatfield and Goodhue It was Mike Hyland in the Kingsland bus who took the win. It was their fourth bus race win in a row.

Flashing Thunder Fireworks and the Deer Creek Speedway then presented a huge fireworks display to end the night to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday.
