Brayden Gjere won the American Racer USRA Stock Car main event.

The Mason City Motor Speedway hosted the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series on Sunday in a show presented by Fertilizer Equipment Specialists of Clear Lake.

A strong field of competitors were on hand in five divisions, but only two would award trophies as a power failure killed the lights illuminating half of the racetrack and forced the remainder of the program to be postponed.

Before the lights went out, Brayden Gjere of Mabel, Minn., used his outside front row starting spot to secure his first win of the season at ‘The Action Track.’

Gjere withstood the challenges from Rockford’s Wyatt Medlin who settled for second.

Ventura’s Joe Schmit came from the 12th starting spot to finish third, Jesse Brown of Nashua finished fourth and Andrew Borchardt of Plymouth rounded out the top five.

In USRA B-Mod action, Brandon Maitland also started from the outside of the front row en route to victory. The Waterloo racer had to hold off 10th-starting Jim Chisholm of Osage for the win.

Parker Hale of Grand Meadow, Minn., was third, Doug McCollough of Webster City was the fourth driver to cross the finish line and Mason City’s George Nordman completed the top five.

Brandon Maitland won the USRA B-Mod main event.

The night’s program ended abruptly when the lights went out during the fifth lap of the Outlaw Mini-Mod feature race.

Josh Angst, Joe Horgdal and Chase Rudolf claimed USRA Modified heat race wins prior to the show being postponed. Devon Havlik and Aaron Benson will sit on the front row when the main event is concluded Sunday, Aug.2, along with the feature race for the Mensink Racing Products USRA Hobby Stocks.

Jeremy Crimmins and Scott Dobel were Hobby Stock heat winners. Dobel will be joined on the front row by Nick Brady when the division gets the green flag to finish their busines.
