Gary Donaldson won the Holley USRA Stock Car main event on Saturday, April 28, at the I-35 Speedway in Winston, Mo.


The night of racing began with a special tribute to I-35 Speedway 2017 USRA B-Modified champion Bud Wilson. After the touching moment, drivers and fans were treated to a multi-groove slick racetrack.

A loaded field of 18 Out-Pace USRA B-Mods charged into turn one when the green flag flew for their feature. After several complete restarts for yellows and one red for a six-car pileup, the field went to battling for positions throughout the field.

Ethan Isaacs let those battle behind him, ran away from the field and to a spot in victory circle. Andrew Schroeder stayed in the top five all race and finished second. Mike Tanner and Daniel Harris finished third and fourth in the hectic feature, while Corey Myers came from a deep starting position to finish fifth.

The Holley USRA Stock Cars were the final class of the night to feature a back-to-back winner, only this time it was a three peat for Gary Donaldson. The win did not come easy for Donaldson as Jeff Dixon hung on to the lead for most of the race. Eventually, Donaldson did find an opening on the top side and picked up his third feature win in a row. Jayden Bears stayed in the mix and followed Donaldson around Dixon, finishing second and sliding Dixon back to third. William Dahl, who made his first trip to the speedway finished fourth and Sam Scott finished fifth.

The USRA Modifieds took to the slick track and went 20 laps clean and green. Mark Dotson used his pole position to get out front early. Each lap he put a little more of a gap between himself and second place runner Derrick Hicks and by the end of the race had more than enough breathing room to cruise to the victory. Hicks fended off a hard charging Darren Shaw to finish second. Shaw finished third while being challenged by Dennis Elliott, who finished fourth. Last week’s feature winner Zach Sanders finished out the top five.
