The Deer Creek Speedway hosted a very special night of racing on Saturday. It was Veterans Night at the track and Clements Chevrolet of Rochester provided free admission for all military veterans, current military and a guest.

The event was a fundraiser for the (DAV) Disabled American Veterans and, specifically, the Mayo SE Chapter 28. All of the money raised will stay to help veterans in Southeast Minnesota.

There were T-shirt sales, a raffle, silent auction, live auction, 50/50 ticket sales and the push up challenge for the feature winners. Businesses and individuals donated one dollar for each push-up the feature winner could do.

Along with Clements Chevrolet, Barclay Landscaping also helped present the show along with Ruhlow Farms. Barclay Landscaping put an extra $200 for the feature winners in the Out-Pace USRA B-Mods and an extra $100 for second place. An anonymous fan kicked in an extra $2,000 for the USRUSRA MODIFIEDS with an extra $1,000 for the winner and the rest spread throughout the field.

A field of 33 Out-Pace USRA B-Mods were whittled down to a 24-car pack for their 18-lap feature. J.T. Wasmund took off from row one to lead the early laps.

Several cautions slowed the pace in the first few laps. Miah Christensen dove low and nabbed the lead on one of the restarts. Unfortunately for Christensen the start was called back for another caution. Wasmund would not let that happen to him again and held his ground up front.

Wasmund led the rest of the way for his first win of the season. Wasmund then ripped off 35 push-ups worth $22 a piece in victory lane for the DAV. Christensen took a second-place finish with A.J. Zvorak third. Jerry Young was fourth and Jim Chisholm finished fifth.

Nate Wasmund came off the pole to lead the USRA Modified feature. Wasmund ran the low groove, but Keith Foss cranked things up on the very upper part of the track. Foss shot past on lap two and brought Dustin Sorensen to second.

Joe Horgdal and Jake Timm had a terrific race going for fourth with Brandon Davis fifth. Jason Cummins stalled on lap five to tighten things up for the restart. Timm bolted low to third on the start and then by Sorensen to second. Wasmund, Horgdal and Davis had a great battle for fourth.

Sorensen got back to second and then on lap six there was contact amongst the leaders and Timm along with Horgdal came to rest on the track. Timm was sent to the tail and Horgdal was done for the race. Another yellow flew for a Blake Arndt who slowed while up with the leaders.

Foss took off but was challenged by Sorensen on lap 18. Davis slipped into third and took off after the leaders. All three were on the bitter edge on the top side. That bit Sorensen on lap 19 when he bounced off the concrete and Davis bolted past.

Foss led, but Davis challenged with a couple of laps to go. Foss got past a slower car with perfection on the final lap and took his first win of the season. Foss did 26 push-ups after his big win. Davis was second with Sorensen in third. Wasmund finished in fourth and Josh Angst was fifth.
