Mother Nature finally graced the I-35 Speedway with great weather as the Winston, Missouri, dirt oval got opening night in on this Easter Weekend.

With 115 cars checked into the pit area, the parking lot was lined with cars as far as the eye could see and the fans treated to a great show.

The USRA B-Mods had a stacked field of cars put on a show for the fans. Ethan Issacs found his way to victory lane as he battled the likes of Tyler Cadwallader and Shadren Turner.

Cadwallader came home second, Danan Knott was third, Todd Luke with a good run ran fourth.

Turner, who had taken the lead down the back straightaway but went into turn three too hard, went over the bank and had to restart last, finished fifth.

Todd Luke gained 11 positions to pick up the Hard Charger of the Race Award.  Heat race winners were Cadwallader and Turner.

Medieval USRA Stock Cars were next out and Austin Bouzek took his front row starting spot and never looked back.

Early on, Bouzek battled with Kacey Shields but eventually Bouzek pulled away for the win while Shields finished second.

Jeff Dixon, who had a furious battle with Brad Derry and Blake Peeler, finished third with Derry and Peeler close behind.

Derry and Peeler both gained the same spots to be the hard chargers. Heat race winners were  Shields and  Bouzek.

Last, but not least, the 20-lap USRA Modified feature took to the track and had a green-to-checker finish.

Darren Shaw led early but as the laps ticked down the tires on his No. 11 machine started to fade. Houston Johnson found his way around and captured his first win of 2021.

Brother Austin Johnson followed him to the front to finish second. Shaw came home third, Daniel Harris was fourth and Ed Noll finished fifth.

The Johnsons each gained three spots to pick up the hard charger. Shaw won the heat race.
