Brandon Davis won the USRA Modified feature.

Temperatures which climbed into the mid-80s on Friday greeted fans and drivers for Kids Night at Chateau Speedway. The yearly event combines bicycle giveaways along with rides in the stock cars for the kids before the races. As is the case every year the drivers poured out of the pits to participate as the kids poured out of the stands for a chance to ride in one of the beasts they watch every Friday night.

Thanks went out to Joe Vogt Custom Pumping, Mike and Cathy Madsen, Red 1 Racing Team (Dan Wheeler), Team 73 (Pfeifer), 31 Street Stock Raey Hastings, Hornet 28 Patrick Andrus, Maas Racing, Greg Lammers and Sons Racing and Kevin Vogt who all put up bicycles as well.

In between the Kids Night events was some very exciting racing in the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series. The only repeat winner was Brandon Davis of Hayfield who led flag to flag for his fourth straight USRA Modified feature win to open the season. It didn’t hurt that he started on the pole as he jumped in front at the drop of the green and never looked back.

Behind him Steve Wetzstein of West Concord who started out side front row ran second all 25 laps but did feel some heat from Kevin Stoa of Albert Lea down the stretch. Stoa started back in row 4 and picked his way into the top 5 on lap 3 and eventually made it to third in the race's final five laps. Darwyn Karau came home in fourth followed by Mark Noble of Blooming Prairie.

Jason Cummins of New Richland and Wetzstein had the heat wins.

Scott Demmer of Ellendale was not the driver who pulled into victory lane at the conclusion of the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature but he did take home the first-place honors. Kadden Kath of Owatonna pulled into victory lane for the picture and congratulations but was diqualified during post-race technical inspections after one of his lead weights was missing, having been picked up off the track during one of the cautions.

Demmer had led the first lap before Kadden went by him on lap 2. Demmer chased him all the way to the checkers but was able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in the tech area.. Aaron Hoff of Mantorville worked from row 3 up to a recorded second-place finish ahead of Cole Suckow of Cresco, Iowa, Noah Grinstead of Austin and Matt Brooks of Austin.

Grinstead, along with Jeremy Schaufenbuel of New Hampton, Iowa, took heat wins.

Scott Demmer won the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature.

Racing action continues next Friday, June 6, at Chateau Speedway with the KEVKO Outlaw Mini Mods joining the regular six classes of cars again for another spectacular night of racing action. the first green flag is scheduled for 7:15 p.m.
