SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - Another picture perfect day for racing befell on southern Minnesota on this last weekend of July. Med City Collision and Firestone of Austin were the evenings sponsors with plenty of free stuff to give away to the kids including a pair of bikes.

The final race of the night was the EZ Fabricating USRA Modified event with Steve Wetzstein and Jason Cummins pacing the field. Cummins took control of the event with Derek Ramirez from Woodward OK in third behind Wetzstein.

With three completed Brad Waits worked under Ramirez for third.

Further back in the field a few cars jumped up to the top side of the speedway in an attempt to clean that high line off.

With nineteen to go Waits moved past Wetzstein for second and took off after the leader.

Rameriez, Todd Scharkey and Tim Donligner were three wide for fourth. Scharkey took the spot and on the next lap worked on Wetzstein for third as Kelly Shryock entered the race for fifth.

With thirteen to go Sharkey worked into third with Donlinger working into fourth.

Cummins had pulled out to a full straight away advantage early.

A caution with eight to go was not what the leader wanted with Waits, Donlinger and Shryock directly behind him now on the restart. It didn’t hurt though as Cummins was very fast tonight and jumped back out to the lead.

Donlinger started working on Waits for second and took the spot as the cars crossed the finish lien side by side as the checkers dropped.

It was Cummins' first win in the division at the speedway.
