Dan Hovden (left) and Gavin Shaw (right) won the USRA B-Mod main events.

Thursday night kicked off the LRS Waste Services Southern Minnesota Spring Challenge at Deer Creek Speedway. Orchard Creek Transportation, along with Randy & Sandy Norby and Bill & Brenda Weber, supported the show.

The USRA B-Mods were the support class for the USMTS Modifieds at this event. Forty-three USRA B-Mods turned out and racers earned passing points in their heats. They were then split into two features with odd passing points finishers in the first feature and even passing points finishers in the second feature.

In the first 18-lap feature, Dan Hovden charged from the 11th spot to win his fourth feature event of this young season. Hunter Kennedy had a strong run in second while Joe Chisholm drove from row five to finish third.

Taylor Skauge finished in the fourth spot. Last week’s winner at Deer Creek, Garitt Wytaske, rounded out the top five.

In feature number two it was Gavin Shaw who picked up his first win at Deer Creek and his second career win. Spencer Stock raced from row eight to finish second while Dennis Dunbar had a nice run in third.

Harley Dais was another hard charger in this race. Dais started 14th and got all the way up to fourth. Dylan Goettl finished out the top five.
