Dan Hovden won the USRA B-Mod main event.

Saturday evening was a very special at Deer Creek Speedway. The annual Veterans Night was held honoring all military veterans and current serving military members. Rochester Chevrolet provided free admission for them and a guest for the night.

Rochester Chevrolet also donated $10,000 to the cause. They also put $1000 in bonus purse money to the top 10 feature finishers in all five divisions.

There were all kinds of fund raising going on to benefit the Disabled American Veterans (D.A.V.) Mayo Southeast Chapter 28. A silent auction, raffles, 50/50 drawing and the push-up challenge for the feature winners took place. When all was said and done a preliminary total of over $28,000 was raised.

Scott Demmer took off from row one to lead the USRA B-Mod main event. Demmer opened a good lead while Noah Grinstead worked to second and tried to catch the leader

Demmer was in command until the leaders started to catch the rear of the field. Grinstead and Taylor Ausrud reeled in the leader with Joe Chisholm and Dan Hovden close behind them. A yellow came out on lap 13 to close up the field.

On the restart, Grinstead took the lead and Ausrud took second. Demmer was right there and Hovden started to come alive. Hovden used the low groove and got to second before another yellow flag waved on lap 15.

It was a wild three-lap dash to the finish. Hovden applied pressure to Grinstead until the white flag flew. Hovden threw a slide job in turn two for the lead. Hovden bounced off the wall and Grinstead bolted back to the point. Hovden entered turn three low and executed a perfect slide job to squeeze out his 14th win of the season.

Grinstead was a close second with Ausrud in third. Joe Chisholm raced to a fourth place finish with Dustin Kruse in fifth. Hovden took the push-up challenge and did 56 of them.

Front row starter Jason Cummins bolted from row one to lead the NAPA Auto Care Centers USRA Modified feature. David Baxter hung right with Cummins and was scored the leader of lap two.

Cummins returned the favor and was scored the leader on lap three. Baxter remained close to Cummins while Brandon Davis was on the charge by Jayden Larson to third. Davis quickly made it a three-car battle up front.

Davis moved to second on lap 10 and then set after Cummins. Davis took the lead on lap 15 before a yellow slowed the race on lap 16. Davis took off on the restart and led the rest of the way for his fourth win of the season and 67th of his career at Deer Creek.

Cummins fended off Baxter for second. Josh Angst had a great run coming from 12th to fourth and John Doelle was fifth.

Tralo Companies added an extra $100 per push up for the modified feature to make it $129 per push up. Davis took the challenge and slammed down 65 pushups.
