SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - With all of the rain-outs throughout the season, the promoters put on a special Sunday night event at Deer Creek Speedway. A huge car count on Saturday provided an excellent field of 104 cars for Sunday night's racing. An hearty crowd showed up to see all of the racing action on this last night of racing before the specials begin at the speedway.

Jay Ihrke led the EZ Fabricating USRA Modified feature to the line. Todd Scharkey was in second early while Kelly Shryock quickly moved into third. Shryock took second on lap 2 while some fierce two- and three-wide battles raged on through the field.

Twenty to go and Irhke and Sryock were side by side for the lead. Shryock took the spot. Ihrke held onto second with Nate Wasmund close in third.

A restart with 11 to go saw Shryock lead, Ihrke in second and Les Duellman, Jason Cummins and Layne Meyer three wide for fifth. Wasmund was working on moving past Ihrke as another caution flew with nine to go.

Cummins charged high into one on the restart and moved past Wasmund for third. Scharkey retook the fourth spot from Wasmund as the race wound down.

Another caution with three to go set up the green-white-checkered dash. Shryock took the win with Cummins moving past Ihrke for second. Scharkey finished fourth ahead of Neil Eckhart who worked up from the 15th starting position.
