Schott, Bleess make all-Chatfield winners circle at Deer Creek


SPRING VALLEY, Minn. -- A great crowd was on hand tonight for the racing action and the exciting school bus racing at the Speedway. It was great to see a ton of kids on hand and with great racing in all classes. Tonight's racing action was presented by Johnston Auto Stores.

The Elma Performance and Fabricating USRA B-Mods were on the track next with Jacob Bleess, Alex Williamson and Brandon Hare racing three wide for the lead. Cory Crapser quickly joined the battle to make it a four wide race until a caution flew on lap two. On the restart Hare took the advantage. Bleess and Williamson raced for second. Bleess took over the second spot and then by lap six had moved under Hare to lead the field. A caution on lap eight saw Bleess leading with Erik Kanz Battling for the second spot while Cole Queensland moved into fifth after starting twentieth on the field. Kanz and Williamson touched while racing for third slowing their momentum and allowing Queensland to move into the third spot. With ten down Queensland moved past Hare for the second spot and set sail for the leader out front. Queensland caught Bleess on lap sixteen and pulled alongside but was unable to make a pass for the lead as the laps counted down. At the finish it was Bleess with the win; Queensland finished a hard fought second with Hare, Williamson and Kylie Kath rounding out the top five. Heat race action was won by AJ. Zvorak, Bleess and Kylie Kath.

Lucas Schott jumped out front early on during the NAPA AutoCare USRA Modified feature. Jacob Dahle ran in second early with Josh Angst and Keith Foss battling for the third spot. A caution after lap one saw Schott leading with Angst and Foss still battling for the position although now it was for second and they worked past Dahle. Foss gained the spot and slowly caught up to Schott up front. Further back Jason Cummins decided to move to the top side of the speedway and was making hay up top. Cummins moved into the top five on lap four, by lap six he had moved into the third. Foss was under Schott for the lead by this time as they battled for the lead. Schott was able to hold he off and with twelve down Foss moved up to the top side to find a new line as the flew on lap twelve. On the restart Schott led with Cummins now into the second spot and Foss in third. Over the final ten circuits Cummins hung onto Schotts rear bumper. Cummins got alongside of Schott for the lead but Schott was too strong and held his line and position to take home the top spot. Cummins came home in a close second with Foss, Brandon Davis and Angst rounding out the top five. Heat races were won by Davis, Lance Hofer and Joel Alberts.

Racing resumes next Saturday at 5:00 with the annual A&A Electric and Underground Southern Minnesota Spring Challenge featuring the USMTS modifieds.
