This week’s event was presented by National Fleet Graphics along with Exhaust Pros of Northfield along with Randy and Sandy Norby. The largest car count of the season turned out with 130-machines in the pit area.

The Out-Pace USRA B-Mods also had additional money added to the top positions of their feature. This one paid $1,300 to win and the hard charger award was bumped up to a cool $500. Dustin Kruse and Nick Wagner brought the field to the green flag.

Kruse, Wagner and Jim Chisholm cycled three wide on lap one with Chisholm on top at the end of lap one. There were a few yellows that kept the pack close to Chisholm, but it did not faze the 2016 track Rookie of the Year.

Chisholm flew on the top side and led the field to the checkered flag for his second win of the season. It was also a clean sweep for Chisholm after he won his heat race earlier in the evening. Kruse fought hard to finish second and Mike Mehling had his best run in third. Erik Kanz finished in fourth and Derek Clement came from 11th to fourth. Kenny Boge and Kadden Kath split the hard charger prize.

A huge field of 37 USRA Modifieds were narrowed down to a 25-car field for their $2,000-to-win main event. Dustin Sorensen got the jump from row one. A couple of early yellows would slow the race, but not Sorensen.

Sorensen checked out and drove away to pick up his second win of the season and the biggest payday of hos young career. Jake Timm rode home in second while Cory Bruggeman was third. Josh Angst finished in fourth and Jason Cummins was fifth. Tony Schill was awarded the National Fleet Graphics hard charger money.
