SPRING VALLEY, Minn.—With almost two inches of rain falling at the Deer Creek Speedway on Friday, the track crew had their hands full getting the track ready for racing. Deer Creek Speedway is celebrating their 20th season, and with tight battles and first-time winners the excitement was in the air all night.

Brad Waits won the make-up feature for the USRA Modifieds earlier in the night, completing the show that was previously rained out.

Cole Queensland and Erik Kanz were in a tight battle for the track championship of the Wagner Trucking USRA B-Mods with only two points separating the two as they pulled onto the track. Alex Williamson and Andrew Bleess battled early for the top spot with Williamson gaining the edge by lap 3.

Queensland and Kanz were battling mid-pack for position. Kyle Anderson worked past Bleess and then took the lead on lap 7. By lap 10, Queensland and Brandon Hare were battling for top-5 spots while Kanz slowed with mechanical problems.

Anderson cruised home with the win becoming the 401st different feature winner at the speedway. Queensland rallied to take home second with Williamson, Hare and Bleess rounding out the top 5. Nate Chodur and Ben Moudry took home the "B" features while Bleess, Hare, Kylie Kath, Anderson and Jake Timm won the heat races.

Queensland took home the track title ahead of Kanz, Kylie Kath, Hare and Williamson.

The final race of the night was the NAPA AutoCare USRA Modifieds. Jacob Bleess had a strong run and took the lead early with Jason Cummins in second. Brad Waits started seventh and quickly moved into the top 5, and with three down pulled alongside of Bleess up front. Waits led lap 4 while Bleess remained strong on the top side of the speedway for the first half of the race.

Waits slowly pulled away from the pack while Josh Angst worked into the third spot. Les Duellman caught the fans' attention just past the halfway point as he cracked the top 5 after starting 22nd on the field.

Waits took home the win ahead of Bleess, Angst, Duellman and Dustin Sorensen. Heat races were won by Bleess, Sorensen and Cummins.

Angst took home the track championship ahead of Bleess, Joe Horgdal, Joel Alberts and Darwyn Karau.

Next week will be the annual Labor Day Duel featuring the USMTS Modifieds. All other classes will be on hand to do battle on the 3/8-mile high-banked speedplant. Racing action is set to start at 6 p.m.
