A hot and sultry day greeted race enthusiasts at Deer Creek Speedway this week. A “Christmas In July” celebration was held along with the make-up date for the kid’s box car races and the annual fireworks display that were rained out a couple of weeks ago.

This week’s event was presented by the Essig Agency, Titan Pro, Osage Coop and Blake Adams Racing. A big crowd was on hand for the show which would feature a season high 135 race cars.

Once again the Out-Pace USRA B-Mods came out in droves. A field of 40 cars went through five heats and two “B” mains to reach their 26-car feature line-up. This one was a caution-filled affair and it started off rough when it took two tries to start the race.

Kadden Kath led with Jackson Hale second. Jim Chisholm got by Hale for second with Jake Timm and Jerry Young close behind. There was a yellow o lap six. It then took three tries to get the race going again. When the race got going again the leaders made it a dandy.

Kath led, but Chisholm challenged and took the lead on lap eight. Kath came back to lead lap nine, but Chisholm fired back to lead lap 10. Kath rallied one more time and got the lead again on lap 11. Meanwhile Troy Hovey moved to third while the leaders diced it up.

Kath led the rest of the way for his first win and the clean sweep. Kath is now the seventh different winner in seven nights this season. Chisholm ended up second with Hovey third. Jake Timm finished third in Zach Brom’s ride and Ryan Maitland was fifth.

The USRA Modifieds produced a big draw with 35 cars signed in. The ran four heats and two “B” mains to whittle the pack to a 26-car field for their 25-lap main.

Jacob Bleess took off from the pole and was chased by Joel Alberts. Dustin Sorensen got past Brandon Aggen for third and Brandon Davis was up to fourth. A caution came out on lap four to group the field up tight again.

Bleess took off on the start while Sorensen darted past Alberts for second and brought Davis along to third. Bleess streaked away from the pack and opened up a big lead. Then the leaders caught the back of the field on lap 15 and things got interesting in a hurry.

Sorensen and Davis closed in on Bleess in heavy lapped traffic. Davis slipped past Sorensen for second on lap 17 while the lead trio diced through traffic. Davis then stole the lead from Bleess on lap 19 before a caution one lap later would set up a five lap shootout.

Davis took off while Jake Timm made a charge to third. Timm then took over second but Davis had checked out. Davis picked up his first win of the season and a clean sweep to boot. Timm finished second with Sorensen third, Bleess fourth and Alberts was fifth.
