Sorensen wins USRA Modified thriller at Deer Creek
It was another beautiful night for racing at Deer Creek Speedway, presented by Young Truck Line, Randy & Sandy Norby, Thompson Garage Door & Openers and Dohlman Lawn Care. One driver scored hisr first win of the season while the other got his second with a clean sweep.
Jared Boumeester used his front row starting spot to lead the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature. A.J. Hoff and Jayden Larson gave chase early on, but Nick Wagner would sneak into third. Hoff tried to get alongside Boumeester and then Wagner along with Jim Chisholm made it a race for second.
A series of cautions slowed the race, but Shaun Walski took advantage of each restart. Walski got some great starts and eventually drove past Hoff to reach second. Ryan Maitland had come from tenth and moved up to fourth.
Boumeester then had his hands full with Walski. Walski executed a perfect slider to take the lead on lap 10, but Boumeester returned the favor on lap 11. A caution flew and would once again set up a restart for the leaders. Walski snapped to the lead on lap 12 and never looked back for his first win of the season. Boumeester held off a late run from Ryan Maitland for third. Hoff finished in fourth and Chisholm finished out the top five.
Jacob Blees and Cory Crapser led the 24-car pack NAPA Auto Care Centers USRA Modifieds to the green for their 25-lap main event. Brad Waits was with the leaders and took the lead on lap 2. Dustin Sorensen ran the very top of the track behind the top 3.
Sorensen made a daring move coming out of turn 4 from the top to the bottom and then slid up in front of Waits in turn 2 on lap 2 for the lead. A caution set up a great battle between Crapser and Waits for second. Brandon Davis, who started 12th, entered the picture in fourth. Sorensen continued to be wicked fast on the very top and pulled away. Davis tracked down Crapser and was third on lap 9. Davis then passed Waits for second on lap 10. Sorensen held a big advantage at that point, but Davis plugged away on the bottom.
The leaders caught the back of the pack, but Sorensen worked the traffic well. The low line slowly got better for Davis and it appeared the top side may have gone away for Sorensen just a touch. It was apparent the Davis was possibly going to make a run at the leader.
The white flag flew and Davis was right on Sorensen. Davis dove low in turn 3 while Sorensen was right on the wall. Davis dug hard out of turn 4 but Sorensen slipped past for the win with Davis alongside. Waits ended up in third with Jason Cummins fourth and Lucas Schott fifth.
