Jim Chisholm won the USRA Modified makeup main event.

The USRA Modifieds were the support division for this year’s NAPA Gopher 50 at the Deer Creek Speedway. Persistent rain on Thursday forced the postponement of opening day to Friday afternoon.

More rain on Friday caused a delay in the afternoon programs start time.

Twenty-seven USRA Modifeds were on hand for the $1,000-to-win feature event. Jake O’Neil and Kylie Kath started the 25-lap main event from row one.

O’Neil seized the lead at the start while Kath and Jacob Bleess gave chase. Jim Chisholm worked his way
from ninth into the top five.

The other car on the move was Joe Chisholm, who started 17th . Jim Chisholm eventually worked his way to second and closed in on O’Neil. He made the pass for the lead on lap 19 and led the final six laps for the win.

O’Neil was second with Rodney Sanders in third. Aaron Benson raced from tenth to fourth and Joe Chisholm’s run ended up a fifth-place finish.

Davis wins second prelim: The second of two shows in one day took place Friday night . There were 30 USRA Modifieds on hand for the nightcap. Four heat races and two B-mains determined the 26-car starting field.

Parker Hale and Ryan Wetzstein led the field to the green flag for the 25-lap, $1,000- to- win race.

Hale led but had mechanical issues and dropped off. Wetzstein then led with Brandon Davis and Keith Foss close behind.

After a restart on lap seven, Davis took the lead while Rodney Sanders came from seventh and got to second.

A couple of yellow flags slowed the race, but Davis went on to the win.

Sanders finished second and Foss was third. O’Neil scored another top five in fourth and Lucas Schott charged from 13th to fifth.
