Dustin Sorensen won the USRA Modified feature.

This week at Deer Creek Speedway featured “Double Down” Night and Driver Recognition Night. Drivers could choose to pay a $50 entry fee and race for double the normal purse. Every position would pay the driver double if they chose to enter.

Retired drivers from the 1950s through the ‘90s were also invited with free admission to them to attend a night of racing. They were introduced in front of the crowd before the racing action started.

The show was presented by National Fleet Graphics of Dodge Center along with Tralo Companies of Owatonna. Exhaust Pros of Northfield offered a $100 bonus to each feature winner, while Randy & Sandy Norby made the USRA B-Mod feature pay $1000 to win with an extra $100 for second and third with a $100 hard charger award too.

Another large field of 125 cars signed in for the five class program. There was also a full moon which just might have been some of the reason for the hum-dinger of a program.

Jared Boumeester redrew the pole position for the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature. It was pretty much over from there. Cole Denner tried to stay with the quick Boumeester but it was to no avail.

Boumeester scored his first win at Deer Creek and became the ninth different winner in nine nights in this division. Denner finished a distant second while Ethan Braaksman raced from 11th to third in his first ever race here. Kadden Kath came from 10th to fourth and Brandon Maitland was fifth. Sam Wieben picked up the $100 hard charger when he came from 19th to ninth.

A stellar field of 32-USRA Modifieds went through four heats and a “B” feature to determine the 24 cars that would race the $2000-to-win, 25-lap feature.

Brad Waits took off from the pole with Dustin Sorensen on the chase. Waits opened up a lead, but Sorensen reeled him back in on lap seven. Jake Timm moved to third and chased down the lead duo. Sorensen started to challenge but the yellow came out on lap nine.

Sorensen used the low groove to take the lead on lap 10, while Timm slid past Waits for second. Joe Horgdal sat in fourth but scuffed the wall in turn two. He then slowed and collected some cars in turn three and the yellow was out. This set up a very interesting restart.

Waits went back after Timm for second and then Rodney Sanders threw a nasty slide job in turn three to blow past both Waits and Timm for second. Timm returned the favor in turn four and was back to second. However Sanders drove back by in turn two and was again in second.

While all this was going on, Sorensen stretched out his lead to a full straightaway on lap 13. Sanders shaved a couple tenths off each lap while Sorensen closed in on the back of the field. Sorensen caught the pack and Sanders was right on the leader.

Sorensen entered the lapped traffic on lap 21 with Sanders close. They entered turn three and Sanders got into the wall and went up and over the wall and stayed on all four tires as the yellow came out. Sanders did not roll over and drove back on to the track through the track prep equipment entrance in turn four. His night was over though as the right front suspension was broke.

From there it was Sorensen who went on for the big payday. Timm would end up in second after a fierce battle with Waits who was third. Brandon Davis finished in fourth and Joey Jensen was fifth.
