Jake Timm won the USRA Modified main event.


Jake Timm found the long way around to the be the fast way around Thursday night at the Cedar Lake Speedway and used it to perfection in capturing the USRA Modified main event on opening night of the 22nd Annual Masters.

Jake O’Neil led the first 15 laps of the race while fending off Rodney Sanders before Timm came flying around the outside to grab the lead and set sail to a $3,000 triumph in the USRA Modified 30-lapper.

While Timm sailed away to the victory, O’Neil suffered a flat tire on the final lap and dropped out of competition. Meanwhile, Sanders held on for the runner-up paycheck.

Cory Crapser started and finished third while Lucas Schott topped Dustin Sorensen in a fantastic battle for the fourth spot. Dan Ebert, Tanner Mullens, Brooks Strength, Shane Sabraski and Tyler Wolff rounded out the top 10.

In USRA Late Model action, Matt LaDuke came from the fifth starting spot and snagged the lead from Dylan Kromschroeder on the seventh lap and then proceeded to pace the final 14 laps en route to a $600 payday.

Justin Sass was third, Max Nelson finished fourth and 19th-starting Gavin Tarras completed the top five. Defending USRA Late Model national champ Lucas Peterson was sixth, seventh was James Kannegiesser, Chad Prissel claimed eighth-place money, Triton Krause nabbed ninth and Patrick Kletschka passed a dozen drivers to earn the final position in the top 10.


Matt LaDuke won the USRA Late Model main event.

The Cedar Lake Speedway was founded in 1957 by Elmer Cook and his son, Bob. A field of 12 cars and 85 spectators were on hand for the opening show on a flat clay oval. Over the years, the Cook family continued to expand and improve the racetrack and the grounds.

In 2001, five new partners came on board, including Ron Bernhagen, Brad Both and three brothers—Bob, Chuck and Steve Kaufman. Today, Cedar Lake Speedway’s state-of-the-art 3/8-mile high-banked clay oval has developed into one of the nation's leading short track facilities.

The track is located 1.0 mile east of SR 35 on SR 64, then 4.2 miles north on CR C to CR CC, then left 1.8 miles. For more information, call (612) 363-0479 or (715) 248-7119 or visit cedarlakespeedway.com.
