Cummins back on top, over $8,000 raised for breast cancer on Pink Out Night


SPRING VALLEY, Minn.—A perfect night for racing action and cancer awareness on this late June evening at the Deer Creek Speedway. With a lot of activities going on for the pink out night at the speedway the racing action on the track was hot. With silent auctions, driver autographed flag, feature winner push-ups, pass-the-hats and other fund raising activities Deer Creek Speedway and its fans and drivers were able to raise over $8,000 for Join the Journey.

Join the Journey is a group actively involved in Breast Cancer Awareness. Other additional contributions from shirt sales and donations should bring the evenings activities close to the $9,000.

Andrew Bleess looked poised to take his first feature win early on in the Wagner Trucking USRA B-Mod division. A big crash involving seven cars happened on the front stretch with A.J. Zvorak taking a hard hit to the driver's side of the car.

Luckily out of the seven cars three appeared to have heavy damage with no serious driver injuries.

On the restart Kylie Kath took off on the high side and raced with Bleess for the lead while Cole Queensland and Alex Williamson raced for third. Another restart saw Williamson take over the lead with Queensland moving into secon d. Kath and Queensland continued to battle for second over the last part of the race and they closed up on Williamson up front. Queensland pulled alongside of Williamson with two to go and as the white flew over the field he took the lead and held it to the checkers.

Kath, Williamson, Bleess and Brandon Hare rounded out the top five. Parker Hale won the B-Feature with Williamson, Ben Anderson, Zvorak and Kath winning the heat races. Queensland did 20 push-ups to match his car number for the fund raising.

The NAPA AutoCare USRA Modifieds flew out of turn two three wide for the lead on the opening lap. Jason Cummins took control over Cory Crapser. Brandon Davis was in third early until lap five when Keith Foss worked past on the high side to take the spot. Crapser gained back on Cummins and while racing for the lead Foss caught the duo to make it a three car battle for the win

Cummins stayed strong up front with Foss now in second and knocking on the door. Davis moved past Crapser on lap fifteen. The last five laps had everyone leaning in their seats as Cummins and Foss worked through lapped traffic battling for the win. At the line Cummins took home the win by half a car length with Foss, Davis, Cra pser and Jacob Bleess rounding out the top five.

Heat races were won by Foss, Cummins, and Dustin Scott. What a great race to top off the night and Cummins topped the rest of the drivers dropping down and pumping out 50 push-ups in the name of Breast Cancer Awareness.

Racing action resumes next Saturday, July 4, with action in all five classes starting at 6 p.m. After the races fans and drivers can hang around for a huge fireworks show to celebrate the 4th of July.
