KASSON, Minn. – The first day of June was welcomed at the Kasson Speedway in Kasson, Minn. with bright sunny skies and 73 race cars filling the pit area on KOWZ 100.9 FM Night.

Jacob Dahle took off from the inside of the front row in the A & A Electric USRA Modified feature into the lead, with a thrilling battle for second between Tom Paulson, Todd Sharkey and Tony Vaith early on.

Dahle continued to lead on the outside of the track, while Sharkey came flying around the track on the bottom and stole the lead on lap 4.

Once out front, Sharkey dominated the reminder of the event, while Josh Angst moved in on Dahle for second.

Ninth-starting Mick Glenn became a factor at the mid-point of the event as he moved in on Angst for second, while LeRoy Sharkey chased Glenn on the bottom for third.

Angst began to run the extreme topside of the speedway and began to cut into Sharkey’s advantage, but ran out of laps as Sharkey claimed his first win of the season.

Angst ran an impressive second over Glenn, LeRoy Sharkey and Tom Brink in the top five.

Racing resumes at the Kasson Speedway on Sunday, June 15, with a full program of USRA Modifieds, WISSOTA Super Stocks, WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, WISSOTA Street Stocks, Pure Stocks and Hornets. Racing will begin at 6 p.m. Check out www.kassonspeedway.com for more information.
