Josh Angst won the USRA Modified main event.

Josh Angst won the USRA Modified main event.


The annual Pink-Out Night with Join The Journey was the focus at Deer Creek Speedway. Saturday’s program was to raise awareness and donations for breast cancer.

There was a silent auction, 50/50 ticket sales and the push-up challenge for the winning drivers in victory lane. Event T-shirts also helped raise funds as well.

The event was sponsored by First Farmers & Merchants State Bank with support from Weber Auto Parts, Old Dutch Snacks and Evans Printing & Publishing.

An expansive field of 147 cars turned out for the show. Four of the five divisions had first-time winners while one added to his win streak.

Forty-two USRA B-Mods had the field split into two 18-lap features.

Ben Moudry led early on in the first feature and was chased by Dylan Goettl. Goettl took the lead on lap 9 and stayed there. Despite a late-race caution with three laps to go, Goettl drove to the win.

Moudry finished second with Hunter Kennedy third. Noah Grinstead was fourth and Zach Elward finished fifth.

In the second feature, Taylor Skauge held the lead until he was challenged by Brandon Hare. Hare stole the lead on lap 7 but Skauge returned the favor on lap 8.

Skauge drove on for his first win of the season. Garitt Wytaske had a late charge to second with Hare in third. Scott Demmer finished fourth while Harley Dais was fifth.

Goettl and Skauge became the 11th and 12th different USRA B-Mod feature winners in 13 shows. Only Joe Chisholm has more than one win.

Twenty-five USRA Hobby Stocks started their 18-lap feature. Chris Hovden took the early advantage but Nick Schwebach was close behind.

Schwebach closed in on Hovden and challenged for the lead on lap 7. Schwebach nabbed the lead and led the rest of the way for his first win of the year.

This was Schwebach’s first win at Deer Creek since June 18, 2018.

Polesitter Levin Sand led the first lap of the Medieval USRA Stock Car feature. Kyle Falck took over on lap 2 as Brayden Gjere moved to second.

Falck and Gjere both ran the high line until lap 13 when Gjere threw a slide job and took the lead in turn 4. Falck came back with a slider of his own on lap 14 but Gjere dove low and reclaimed the lead.

From there, Gjere went on to his third win in a row. Falk was second with Jesse Brown in third. Travis Shipman and Brady Williamson rounded out the top five.

John Doelle led lap 1 of the USRA Modified feature. Jacob Bleess took the lead on lap 2 and Josh Angst was also with the leaders. Angst stole the lead on lap 4 and tried to extend his advantage.

Brandon Davis was on the move from 12th and got up to third. Angst and the lead pack had to negotiate some heavy lapped traffic, but Angst sliced around them with no issues.

Angst also picked up his first win of the season with Bleess second and Davis third. Kylie Kath finished in fourth and Aaron Benson was fifth.
