Travis Shipman won the USRA Hobby Stock main event.

It was another beautiful night for racing at Deer Creek Speedway on Saturday. Another good field of 116 cars signed in and they produced some very good racing.

This week’s program was supported by J&S/JCB along with Red Can Sanitation and Randy & Sandy Norby.

Krysta Doughty and Dustin Gulbrandson had a good battle for the lead to start the USRA Hobby Stock feature. Gulbrandson took the lead while Luke Schluetter moved in to race Doughty.

Schluetter got to second on lap eight, but Gulbrandson held a large lead. There was a tremendous four car race for fourth. That changed on lap 15 when the yellow flag came out to make it a three-lap race to the finish.

Gulbrandson held on to score his tenth win of the season. Nick Schwebach made a late move for second with Schluetter third. Chris Hovden was fourth and Zac Smith finished fifth.

The USRA B-Mods ran one feature this week with 37 cars signed in. Their feature got off to a rough start on lap one when seven cars stacked up to bring out the yellow flag.

The race was filled with yellow flags early on with four of them in the first seven laps. Once the race got going, pole sitter Joe Chisholm took off and led the entire 18 laps for his tenth win of the season.

Dan Hovden and Dustin Kruse had a good race for second with Hovden coming out on top. Jett Sorensen had his best ever finish at Deer Creek in fourth and Hunter Kennedy was fifth.

The Medieval USRA Stock Car feature was spectacular. Kory Adams led and they were four wide for second on lap two. Andrew Bleess moved up and took the lead from Adams on lap four and Travis Shipman ran from seventh to second.

Shipman moved past Bleess for the lead on lap five and Kyle Falck was third on lap six. Falck passed Bleess for second on lap eight and then looked to challenge Shipman for the lead.

Falck grabbed the lead in turn four on lap 11 and opened up a sixth-tenths of a second lead. Shipman was able to reel Falck back in and with one to go made his move.

Shipman went low in turn two and got alongside Falck. Shipman threw a slide job in turn three and took the lead. Falck dove low in turn four and the duo charged toward the checkered flag.

Shipman powered outside of Falck and stole the win by two one thousandth of a second in a thriller of a finish. It was Shipman’s first win at Deer Creek. Brayden Gjere finished in third with Adams fourth and Bleess fifth.

The USRA Modified feature was dominated by Brandon Davis. Davis started third and took the lead from Ryan Wiome. Josh Angst and Jacob Bleess also passed Wiome for second and third.

Davis took off from there and opened up a huge lead. Even when the leader caught the back of the field, Davis opened his lead even larger.

At the checkered flag, Davis won by 7.84 seconds over Bleess. It was Davis’s 73rdcareer win at Deer Creek and 193rd of his career. Bleess finished second with Angst third. Keith Foss was fourth and Kylie Kath fifth.
