Jason Cummins won the USRA Modified main event at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minnesota, on Saturday, June 22, 2019.


Racing action was back in swing for the Deer Creek Speedway after last weekend’s rain-out. A big field of 117 cars turned out for Pink Out Night—the annual event to raise money for Join The Journey and the fight to end breast cancer. A preliminary calculation estimated that over $10,000 was raised from various activities that took place.

This week’s event was presented by Old Dutch Foods, Weber Auto Parts, Evans Printing and Blake Adams Racing.

The Out-Pace USRA B-Mods ran their race without a caution flag. Parker Hale jumped to the lead and took off to open up a big lead. Jim Chisholm worked from sixth to third on the second lap.

Hale was gone up front when Chisholm drove to second on lap three. Hale’s lead dwindled when Chisholm tracked him down. Ryan Maitland got to third on lap seven as Chisholm caught Hale up front.

Hale and Chisholm had a great battle for a few laps. Eventually Chisholm made the pass and drove on to his fourth win of the season. Hale finished second and Maitland was third. Nick Wagner finished fourth and Kadden Kath was fifth.

The 25-lap USRA Modified main event had Jason Cummins and Steve Arpin in row one. They made contact on the start and sent Cummins to spin into the infield. A complete restart was needed and this time Cummins took off.

Cummins led all 25 laps to win his first of the season. The race behind him was good when Arpin, Dustin Sorensen and Jacob Bleess raced for second. Joel Alberts got into that mix also and Brandon Davis was on the fly from the 12th spot.

Davis got stronger the longer the race went and passed Sorensen for second late in the race. Sorensen was third with Alberts in fourth. Bleess rounded out the top five.

Tonight’s feature winners were also challenged with the Pink-Out Push Up Challenge. Each push-up that each driver did was worth $31 with the proceeds going to Join The Journey.

Chisholm did his car number with 24 push-ups, and then Jason Cummins was challenged by his daughter to do his car number 71. Cummins had the crowd go nuts when he ripped off 71 push-ups much to his daughter’s delight.
