Darwin Karau won the USRA Modified main event.

It was Kids Night Friday evening at Chateau Speedway in Lansing, Minn. Rides in the race cars for the kids started out the night and there were plenty of bicycles and scooters given away at intermission with about 100 cars filling the pits for the program sponsored by R & S Racing of Albert Lea and the Auto Value Parts Stores of Austin and Albert Lea.

After a week of temperatures in the 90s, rain moved through on Thursday and cooled temperatures a bit, making for a pleasant evening for racing action. The action on the track was fast-paced and exciting as several late-race passes made for some wild finishes.

After starting in row two, Darwyn Karau of Kasson took just three laps to get to the front and never looked back as he raced to his first feature win of the season in the USRA Modified main event.

Aaron Benson of Clear Lake, Iowa, led the first two laps after starting on the front row. After Karau slipped by he kept his line and held back all challenges as he finished in the runner-up spot.

Jason Cummins of New Richland made a charge from row five to finish third followed by Doug Hillson of Blooming Prairie and Joel Alberts of Mantorville.

A tough restart late cost Mark Noble of Blooming Prairie a top three finish as he faded to sixth after winning his heat earlier in the night. The other heat win belonged to Alberts.

A solid field of 15 USRA B-Mods lined up for their 20-lap main event, and for the second week in a row it was Kadden Kath of Owatonna who showed the way.

Kath jumped out of row two to the front on the first lap and never looked back.

Alex Schubbe of North Mankato made him a little nervous as they came to the checkers. Some late traffic tightened things up coming home and Schubbe had his fender alongside the leader as they came to the line.

Defending track champion Noah Grinstead of Austin finished third ahead of Drew Williams of Rochester and Michael Wytaske of Hartland.

Kadden Kath won the USRA B-Mod main event.

Next week Chateau Speedway will be back in action with the first green flag at 7:15 p.m. for week three of action in the track’s 64th Anniversary Season.
