Tim Eaton won the USRA B-Mod main event.

Tim Eaton won the USRA B-Mod main event.


Creedence Clearwater Revival sang about a Bad Moon Rising and it was a wild Saturday night under a soon-to-be full moon on Saturday at I-35 Speedway. It was the Bud Wilson Memorial, and with heavy hearts Nic Hanes and Houston Johnson rode side-by-side with American flags during our opening ceremonies.

Before the green flag on the USRA B-Mod feature, a weird incident took place as Michael Haschall and Chase Moulton locked bumpers under caution.

Once the green dropped, Tim Eaton and Adam Dunwoodie pulled away until contact pushed Dunwoodie into the wall on the frontstretch and eventually ended his night early with Eaton making his first visit to victory lane since our first Saturday night back in March.

USRA Stock Cars came next and it was a wild night for them to say the least.

In the second heat race, Clayton Brown rolled down the front stretch. Nic Hanes, our points leader, was also damaged but was able to continue in the feature but contact with Danny Holt ended both of their nights.

Doug Keller led early, eventually being usurped by Chris Dishong. Dishong had a fast car, even with a missing right front fender, and held off Jason Estes in the closing laps to bring home the win.

In the USRA Modifieds, early contact between Lee Hibner and Darren Shaw damaged both cars. Shaw took his car to the pits while Hibner was able to continue, but it was going to be hard for anyone to catch Tyler Hibner.

Tyler Hibner started on the front row with Houston Johnson, both pulling away from the field and eventually with Hibner pulling away from Johnson as well.

Hibner once again went on to win his second race of the night.

It was a wild night and a great showing of what makes Saturday night’s so special at dirt tracks across the country. Thank you to our sponsors, track crew, drivers and, of course, the fans for spending another Saturday with us. We’ll see you all next week.
