Joel Alberts won the USRA Modified main event.

Joel Alberts won the USRA Modified main event.


With a chance of rain in the forecast for much of the week the question was weather or not Chateau Speedway would like at an early rain out on their schedule.

But Mother Nature cooperated and the track officials did a good job of preparing a fast track with plenty of hot action all night long.

Leading the way in victory lane was Zach Elward of Hayfield who took home top honors in the USRA B-Mod main event from his front row starting spot.

Heat winners were a pair of Austin drivers—Garitt Wytaske and Noah Grinstead.

Joel Alberts of Mantorville turned a front row starting spot into his first feature win of the year in the USRA Modifieds.

Last week's feature winner, Jason Cummins of New Richland, and Darwyn Karau of Kasson took the heats.

Racing action continues next Friday, May 21, at Chateau Speedway with the first green flag set to fly at 7:15 p.m.
