SPRING VALLEY, Minn. -- Racing action at the Deer Creek Speedway resumed Saturday after an all-out attempt by Mother Nature to cancel another week's racing action, but the track crew worked hard all afternoon and provided a very good racetrack despite the morning rainfall.

The USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mods kicked off their main event with Erik Kanz in the lead followed by Brandon Hare in second while Billy Steinberg and Shaun Walski were racing for third.

A caution on lap 5 saw Hare take over the lead with Kanz and Walski racing for second. Then a streak of cautions plagued the field for the next four laps with the race director telling the drivers the next caution would cut five laps from their race. It must have helped as they ran from lap 10 to the end without another caution.

Hare led with Walski taking over second and Kanz in third while Parker Hale worked into the top five. Hale took over fourth from Steinberg on lap 12 while Kanz and Walski raced the rest of the race side by side for second.

At the finish it was Hare with the win, Walski second and Kanz third. Hale and Steinberg rounded out the top five.

The USRA RHS Modifieds were flying on the track tonight. Todd Scharkey led early in the feature race with Lucas Schott in second. Jason Miller and Keith Foss were racing for third as Schott started to pressure Scharkey up front.

Jay Ihrke worked into the top five and on lap 4 worked under Miller for fourth. On the next lap, Ihrke worked under Foss for third as a caution flew. On the restart, Scharkey led with Tim Donlinger moving forward.

With eight laps down, Donlinger worked past Ihrke for third and then under Schott for second while Miller and Ihrke now raced for fourth.

Donlinger worked past Scharkey on lap 18 to take the lead while Bob Timm, who started 20th on the field, worked past Ihrke to take over the fifth spot as the checkers waved.

At the finish it was Donlinger with the win followed by Scharkey, Schott, Miller and Timm in the top five.
