Hunter Kennedy won the USRA B-Mod main event.

Along with some exciting racing action week number nine of the Chateau Speedway 2021 season was highlighted by the induction of six new members to the Chateau Speedway Hall of Fame.

During intermission, Ron Kester, Rex Garr, Wendell Kuehn, Mike Sorensen and Ron Ross were inducted.

Two of the new members were represented by family with Elaine Garr representing the late Rex Garr and Dustin Sorensen standing in for his father, Mike Sorensen.

It turned into a double celebration for Sorensen as he accepted the Hall of Fame award and the feature trophy for taking home the French’s Repair USRA Modified main event.

The Rochester driver started in row five and picked his way toward the front.  By lap seven he was in the top five, jumped to the top three a lap later, and then on lap 10 pulled up behind early leader Joel Alberts of Mantorville.

After showing himself several times making runs on the leader the two went side by side on laps 15-16 before Sorensen took over the lead and drove off to his first feature win of the year.

A.J. Hoff of Mantorville out-hustled Jason Cummins of New Richland for second.

Hoff and J.T. Wasmund of Pine Island had the heat wins.

In USRA B-Mod action it was another first-time winner as Hunter Kennedy of St. Ansgar, Iowa, took his first feature win at Chateau Speedway by leading flag to flag.

Cole Lonergan of Dexter held off Garitt Wytaske of Austin for second.

Kennedy and Lonergan had the heat wins.

Racing will continue next Friday, July 30, with the first green flag set for 7:15 p.m.
