Duke Erickson won the USRA Modified main event.

Dustin Gulbrandson claimed his sixth win of the year in the USRA Hobby Stocks on Saturday night at the I-90 Speedway, but the most dramatic win of the night went to Duke Erickson who claimed the feature and championship in the USRA B-Mods.

Erickson lined up in position 12 for the USRA B-Mod feature and had a tall hill to climb to overcome a 19-point interval in his hopes for a season championship.

It took him just five laps to get to the lead.

The next dramatic moment happened when title leader Derek Van Veldhuizen was penalized for a restart violation—a penalty he would not overcome to hold onto the points lead.

The win was Erickson’s second on the year. He won the championship by just three points.

Chris Goetz was second with Tyler Tesch in third. Adam Chernotik and Tanner Koster completed the top five.

Gulbrandson secured his sixth win of the year in the USRA Hobby Stocks by taking over the lead on the second lap.

He was be challenged late by Tracy Halouska, but Halouska had to settle for second and claimed the season title in the process.

James Adams was third ahead of Jason Bradley and Nick Brady.
