Jett Sorensen won the USRA B-Mod main event during the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series at the Deer Creek Speedway Park in Spring Valley, Minn., on Saturday, June 8, 2024.


The Deer Creek Speedway was back in action on Saturday after a week off last weekend. Another big field of 126 cars filled the pit area.

This week’s program was supported by Podeins Power Equipment, Bob The Bug Man, Randy and Sandy Norby along with Trom Transport.

The USRA B-Mods had 42-cars in attendance and they were split into two main events.

In the first 18-lap race, Ben Moudry jumped to the early lead and was chased by Dustin Kruse.

Moudry led until lap 12 when Kruse made the pass to take over the top spot.

Taylor Skauge was on the move into the top five after he started 12th.

A couple of yellow flags slowed the race, but Kruse prevailed for his second win of the year.

Skauge drove all the way to second, Hunter Kennedy came from eighth to third, Moudry finished fourth and Trevor Fecht was fifth.

The second feature started off with a three-wide shot for the lead with Taylor Ausrud, Brody Shaw and Spencer Stock. Stock took the lead while Ausrud, Shaw and Harley Dais battled for second.

A caution on lap seven tightened the pack. Stock took off again while Jett Sorensen powered by Shaw for third and then Ausrud for second.

At that point Stock held a good-sized lead, and looked like he would take the win, but Stock erupted in smoke on the frontstretch as the white flag came out and his night came to a heartbreaking end.

Sorensen led the final lap to score his first win at Deer Creek.

Dais finished second with Ausrud in third. Shaw would place fourth and Cole Bennerotte was fifth.

The USRA Hobby Stock feature was a dandy. Zac Smith took the lead off of row one and led until lap three. Nick Schwebach took the lead away with Parker Anderson also in the mix.

Schwebach and Anderson ran in tight formation with Dustin Gulbrandson close behind. Anderson led lap seven, but Schwebach fired back to lead lap eight.

Anderson drove back to the lead on lap nine, but it was Schwebach back out front at the end of lap 10. Gulbrandson passed Anderson on lap 13 and then chased Schwebach.

Gulbrandson slipped past Schwebach on lap 14 and picked up his third win in a row and ninth overall.

Schwebach was second with Anderson in third. Ryan Goergen finished in fourth with Smith in fifth.

Twenty-one  USRA Stock Cars answered the bell for their 20-lap feature. Andrew Bleess took the lead with Brady Williamson, Blake Adams and Derek Green right on his tail.

Williamson challenged Bleess for the lead on lap seven, but they touched and Bleess spun to trigger a caution. Williamson was deemed at fault and he exited the speedway with a flat tire.

Adams challenged Bleess for the lead. Adams took the lead, but Bleess drove back by. Adams nabbed the lead for good on lap nine. Green slipped past Bleess for second on lap 11.

Adams led the rest of the way for his eighth win overall this season. Green finished second while Brayden Gjere got by Bleess for third. Brandon Hare rallied from 11th to finish fifth.

Keith Foss took the early lead in the USRA Modified feature while Joe Chisholm quickly moved from row three to second.

It did not take Chisholm long to speed past for the lead when that took place on lap five.

Josh Angst worked past Foss for second and Aaron Benson slipped past Foss for third.

Benson used the low groove to get by Angst for second. Yellow flags slowed the race and eventually the race had laps cut.

Chisholm went on to his second win in a row while Benson finished second. Angst ran a solid third with Zach Brom in fourth, and Foss ended up in fifth.
