This week featured Deer Creek Speedway’s annual “Pink Out” night. The night is dedicated to raise money and awareness on breast cancer for Join The Journey. There were t-shirt sales, 50/50 and silent auction fundraisers and the push-up challenge for the five feature race winners.

The program was presented by Rochester Golf Carts, Ulven’s Hardware, Wagner Trucking and Evans Printing. Another big field of 120-racers assembled and put on another fantastic show.

Another huge field of 37 Out-Pace USRA B-Mods were whittled down to their 26-car field through five heats and two b-mains. Dan Hovden redrew the pole and led all 18-laps to score the dominant win.

Nobody had anything for Hovden, even a couple of cautions did not slow him down when he picked up his sixth win overall this season. Hovden then performed 40-push-ups for Join the Journey in victory lane.

Jerry Young and Kadden Kath had a superb race for second with Young on top at the checkered flag. Nick Wagner had another good run in fourth and Dustin Kruse raced from 15th to fifth in the final rundown.

Nate Wasmund used his front row redraw the lead the 27-car USRA Modified feature. Keith Foss was close behind with Brad Waits and Blake Arndt behind them. Waits bolted to second on lap five and then set after Wasmund.

The lead duo was close on laps five and six. Waits used the low groove to steal the lead on lap eight. Wasmund made the pass back in turn two of the next lap, but Waits got back by to lead the lap. Adam Hensel entered the top five at this point.

Foss changed his line and went up top and found something. Foss got by Wasmund for second on lap 14 and quickly closed on Waits. The leaders then entered heavy lapped traffic and Waits worked them to perfection. Waits opened up a bigger lead, but late in the race the lead duo cleared the lapped cars.

Foss made an incredible run off of turn two on the final lap and quickly closed on Waits in the final two corners. Foss zoomed up to Waits, but came up short at the checkered flag in an exciting finish. Waits then had his wife Angela’s son Spencer do the push-up. Spencer clipped off 44 of them to help raise money for Join The Journey.

Foss would finish in second with Wasmund in the third spot. Hensel had raced with Wasmund but ended up fourth. Blake Arndt had his best run to date in his rookie season in the fifth position.
