Dustin Sorensen won the USRA Modified main event.

With the threat of racin moving in, weather played a factor in this week’s program which was supported by Podein’s Power Equipment and Weber Auto Parts. No "B" feature was ran for the USRA B-Mods and all 28 cars started the 18-lap feature. Brandon Hare jumped from the outside of row one to take the lead with Andrew Bleess and A.J. Hoff hot on his heels.

Jim Chisholm worked to fourth and then challenged Hoff for third. Chisholm drove past on lap four and set after the leaders. Hare and Bleess had a great battle going on for the lead when Kadden Kath struck the wall and came to a stop in turn four on lap five to bring out the caution.

Hare led while Bleess chose the top side of the second row and Chisholm went inside. On the start, Chisholm darted to second, but that was negated by a yellow flag. The next restart Bleess changed his strategy and chose the low side of row two. Chisholm again got the better start, got around Bleess and then went to the low groove. Yet again another yellow came out before the lap was completed.

On the third attempt to restart, Chisholm was again flanked to the outside of Bleess. Bleess remained side-by-side with Chisholm on the start but Chisholm roared around him and then passed Hare for the lead in turn four. Ben Moudry was also on the move from ninth and was up to fourth.

Chisholm pulled away from the pack while Hare, Bleess and Moudry raced for second. Bleess would get past Hare on lap 11, but Chisholm was long gone by then. Hare continued to hold off Moudry and eventually edged away from him. Chisholm picked up his fourth win of the season while Bleess was a distant second. Hare finished in the third position with Moudry in fourth and Hoff was fifth.

Jim Chisholm won the USRA B-Mod main event.

Ryan Wetzstein and Dustin Sorennsed led the 19-car USRA Modified field to the green for their 25-lap feature. Sorensen jumped to the lead while Lucas Schott drove up to challenge Wetzstein. Scott made the pass and then J.T. Wasmund got by Wetzstein for third.

Then it was Jacob Bleess’ turn to race with Wetzstein. Bleess took over fourth while Sorensen continued to lead Schott up front. Bleess passed Wasmund for third on lap 10 but a yellow flag came out to negate the pass and slow things down. It would not take long for Bleess to make the pass when the green flag returned.

Bleess zipped past Wasmund as Schott tried to race with Sorensen for the lead. Schott got close a couple of times, but Sorensen ran the cushion to perfection. Wetzstein rallied past Wasmund to fourth and Brandon Davis did the same to take fifth. Davis then moved to fourth in lap 14.

Sorensen led the rest of the way for his first win at the track this season. Schott finished in second with Bleess in third. Davis would end the race in the fourth position and Wetzstein would round out the top five.
