Ryan Wetzstein won the USRA Modified main event.

The ownership change at Chateau Speedway has been very visible around the track over the course of the 2018 season with all the changes and upgrades. Those changes have continued to show themselves during September with the return of Autumn specials after Labor Day Weekend.

In the USRA Modified feature it was Ryan Wetzstein of West Concord scoring his first career Modified feature win. Wetzstein started on the front row for the 25-lap main event and led flag to flag with Adam Hensel of Baldwin, Wis., darting inside him at every opportunity putting the pressure on.

Wetzstein drove a smooth line in bringing home the win despite running over half the race with a flat left front tire.

Josh Angst of Winona came from back in row six to get in the mix for the win but settled for third. Dustin Brown of Thornton, Iowa, and Darwyn Karau of Kasson rounded out the top five. Hensel, Keith Tourville of Janesville and Jason Cummins of New Richland grabbed heat wins.

In Out-Pace USRA B-Mod action, a front row start paid off for Nate Whitehurst of Mason City, Iowa, as he led flag to flag for his first feature win in his first visit to the Chateau Speedway  this year. He endured four restarts as cautions plagued the middle portion of the race as he held off Tyler Tesch of Lennox, S.D.

Nate Whitehurst won the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod main event.

A pair of Austin drivers, Noah Grinstead and Matt Brooks, came home in third and fourth followed by Kadden Kath of Owatonna.

The field also ran a consolation event with Zach Elward of Hayfield picking up his first win in the class. Heat winners were Dustin Steinbrink of Austin, Kath, Alex Williamson of Rushford and Hunter Kennedy of St. Ansgar, Iowa.

Race time for the Saturday night show is set for 6 p.m. with drivers laying it on the line for the night's purse as well as gathering more points to go towards their two-night total to hopefully set themselves up for another nice bonus check.
