Brock Hess won the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature.

It was a big weekend at the Rapid Speedway after the week off for the holiday. A B-Mod special and a qualifying race for the USRA Summit Shootout highlighted the evening.

The Cook Racing Supplies USRA Hobby Stocks saw a great battle up front throughout the race with a lot of fast-paced side-by-side racing.

Alex Wiertzema held the early lead battling for the bottom with Dustin Gulbrandson for the first half of the race. A caution on lap 6 reset the field.

On the restart, points leader Brady Klaassen jumped into second and one lap later took over the race lead.

The top five cars were all over each, and after multiple restarts Gulbrandson finally found clean air and grabbed the lead away from Klaassen with three laps to go and go onto win.

“I can’t thank all the people that help me,” Guldrandson said. “My crew, my sponsors and my fans make this possible.”

Klaassen held on for second ahead of Tyler Schlumbohm, Wiertzema and Levi Vander Weide.

Schlumbohm, Klaassen, and Trevor Kracht grabbed the heat wins.

Dustin Gulbrandson won the Cook Racing Supplies USRA Hobby Stock feature.

The Out-Pace USRA B-Mods were the featured class of the night as they raced for an extra payout.

Eric Faber of Sioux Center grabbed the early lead off the front row, but Brock Hess came from fifth to take the lead away on lap 3.

Hess extended himself to big leads on multiple occasions, but saw it erased time and time again with cautions and a red flag.

He battled with Tyler Johnson who came from the 10th starting spot to battle for the lead, but a mechanical issue ended his night early. In the end, Hess marched on to win the B-Mod special and the $600 prize.

“It’s a special night for me," Hess said. "Not just with the race, but to have my whole family with me here in victory lane.”

Kole Nordquist of Beresford, S.D., battled from 12th to second followed by Tyler Tesch, Jackson Mulder and John Foreman.

Hess, Johnson and Tim Dann were the heat race winners.

The American Racer USRA Stock Cars had a little something extra to race for on the night as well. The winner became a qualifier for the USRA Summit Shootout at the Summit Racing Equipment USRA Nationals in September.

Roger Verdoorn of Sibley started on the front row and had a big lead early in the race before it was negated by a caution on lap 6.

That bunched the field and the challenge was on as Verdoorn battled to hold off Justin Regnerus on the bottom, and later Darrin Korthals on the top.

There was a lot of paint traded throughout the race, and in the end Verdoorn withstood every challenge and went on for his first win of the season.

“I usually only get one win a year so I guess this was a good one to get,” said the winner.

Rich Gregoire came from ninth to finish as the runner-up ahead of Chad Overgaard. Fourth and fifth went to a couple of hard chargers as Eric Gaul and Tommy Kracht came from 21st and 22nd, respectfully, to round out the top 5.

Regnerus, Korthals and Travis Vanden Top were the heat winners.

Roger Verdoorn won the American Racer USRA Stock Car feature.

Next Friday, July 19, the Rapid Speedway will host another Summit Shootout Qualifier in the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod class to go along with the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series events.
