SPRING VALLEY, Minn.—Tom Schmitt and Cory Crapser shared the victory lane spotlight Saturday night as the USRA Holley Iron Man Series invaded the Deer Creek Speedway for the 13th Annual Minnesota Spring Challenge presented by A&A Electrical & Underground.

Crapser, who won Thursday night’s USRA B-Mod feature at the Crawford County Speedway, continued his memorable Memorial Day Weekend with a wire-to-wire win Saturday.

From the outside of the front row, the Chippewa Falls, Wis., racer never faltered and cruised to his second $600 paycheck of the week.

Polesitter Cole Denner chased Crapser for most of the race but dropped four spots on lap 16, allowing A.J. Zvorak to assume the second spot which he held to the end of the 20-lapper.

Holley Iron Man Series USRA B-Mod points leader Dakota Foster finished third with Matt Jones fourth and Eddie Schwope III completing the top five.

Denner, Ben Moudry, Chris Roney, Cole Queensland and 21st-starting David Pitz rounded out the top 10.

Two-time USRA Stock Car National Champion Tom Schmitt of Independence, Iowa, started on the pole of the USRA Stock Car main event and led every one of the 20 laps but Derek Green, whose only other Holley Iron Man Series attempt was a victory in Britt, Iowa, last year, hounded Schmitt throughout the race with Kevin Donlan hot on his heels in third.

Donlan nipped Green for second on lap 10, but Green fought back to regain the spot the next time around.

With one final shot at Schmitt, Green pulled alongside the leader in the final corner and the pair drag-raced to the flagstand with Schmitt getting their first by a mere two-tenths of a second (about three feet).

Lynn Panos, who started 12th, powered his way to a third-place finish with Kyle Falck crossing the finish line fourth and Donlan hanging on for fifth.

Mitch Hovden was sixth, Todd Reitzler finished seventh, Shay Curtin earned the eighth spot, Andy Altenburg nabbed ninth and Pete Solum was the tenth driver to reach the checkered flag.

The Memorial Day Weekend continues with the 13th Annual Stars & Stripes Shootout presented by Weis Buick GMC on Sunday at the Upper Iowa Speedway in Decorah, Iowa.

In addition to the USMTS Modifieds and Holley Iron Man Series featuring USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods, Sunday’s blockbuster event will also feature USRA Hobby Stocks. Hot laps begin at 6 p.m. with racing to follow.
