Jim Chisholm won the USRA Modified main event.


It was a hot and sultry night at Deer Creek Speedway for the RacinDirt.com Thunder Summer Series presented by Whitewater Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram. The show was supported by Essig Insurance Agency, Osage Co-op, Weber Auto Parts and Rochester Chevrolet-Cadillac.

Dustin Gulbrandson jumped from row one to lead the Meadow Greens Golf Course USRA Hobby Stock feature. A quick yellow slowed things on lap two. Gulbrandson led, but Luke Schluetter got to second and tried to close in on the leader.

The top five ran in tight formation on lap nine. Nick Schwebach moved to third on lap ten and Krysta Doughty had charged from 11th to fourth. Schwebach moved past Schluetter for second on lap 12 as Gulbrandson had moved ahead.

That all changed when a yellow flew to set up a two-lap shootout to the finish.

Gulbrandson led to the white flag with Schwebach, Schluetter and Doughty close behind. As the lead pack charge out of turn four to the checkered flag there was a wild scramble.

Gulbrandson took the win with Schwebach and Schluetter right alongside. The top three were separated by a scant 0.075 second.

Doughty finished fourth and Caden Helle rounded out the top five.

Twenty-six USRA B-Mods took the green flag for their $1,000-to-win race.

Caden Neisius took off from row one to lead, but a couple of cautions slowed the pace. On a lap-seven restart, Neisius took off and continued to lead.

Taylor Skauge held second with a flurry of action going on behind him. Gage Motl moved to third and challenged Skauge. Harley Dais worked to fourth before the yellow returned on lap 14.

At that time, Neisius was docked two spots for starting the race before the cone in the start zone. That moved Skauge to the lead on the restart but he tagged the wall in turn two and Neisius zoomed back to the lead.

Neisius held on for his first win at Deer Creek. Dais slipped to second with Motl third. Jake Richards finished fourth and Skauge came home fifth.

Andrew Bleess led the USRA Stock Car feature while Kyle Falck and Brayden Gjere raced for second. Falck moved to second and they ran that way until a yellow came out on lap 11.

Gjere took the lead on lap 12, and after a lap-14 caution led the rest of the way for his second straight win.

Falck finished in second and Brandon Hare had a late race surge to third. Brady Williamson finished fourth while Bleess was fifth.

Twenty-two USRA Modifieds took the green for a 25-lap, $2,000-to-win race. Parker Hale led until lap seven when Joe Chisholm slid to the lead in turn four. Hale tried to cross him back over, but the yellow came out soon after.

Jim Chisholm shot to second on the start, but another caution slowed the race on lap 4. The race had a hard time with no flow due to yellow flags.

After a lap-11 restart, Joe Chisholm took off too early and was docked two spots at the next yellow or race's end, which is the track rule.

The race lead was now between Jim Chisholm and Brandon Davis. They put on a show, but another yellow came out on lap 23. Joe Chisholm was then docked the two spots for the restart.

Jim Chisholm led the final two laps for the win while Joe Chisholm got back to second. Davis was third while Keith Foss and Hale rounded out the top five.
