Kennedy wins USRA B-Mod thriller at Deer Creek

Hunter Kennedy won the USRA B-Mod main event.

Hunter Kennedy won the USRA B-Mod main event.


It was a picture-perfect night for the 2022 season opener at Deer Creek Speedway. A great field of 115-cars signed in and a good crowd came out to see some racing. Rent-N-Save along with Randy and Sandy Norby sponsored this week’s program.

A huge field of 40 USRA B-Mods signed in for the opener. Five heat races and two B-Mains whittled that field down to 26 cars for the 18-lap feature race.

Trevor Fecht jumped off of row one to take the lead from the start. There was some good racing going on behind him for second. Brandon Hare and Hunter Kennedy fought for that spot while Jackson Hale made it a three-car battle. Kennedy would clear Hare and then tried to close the gap on Fecht.

The laps wound down and Kennedy slowly but surely closed the gap on Fecht. On the final lap, Kennedy was right on Fecht when they came out of turn two. Kennedy dove to the low side of turn three and slid up in front of Fecht to steal the lead and the win in the final corner. Hale would finish third with hare fourth and Alex Schubbe was fifth.

The Medieval USRA Stock Cars are the new division at the speedway that took the place of the Wissota Super Stocks. A decent field of 15 were on hand for the opener.

At the drop of the green the front runners were three-wide for the lead. Kyle Falck came from row two and took the lead. Travis Shipman moved to second on lap three and tried to keep pace with Falck. Shipman closed the gap in the final laps of the race but came up short in attempt to make a pass on the final lap.

The racing behind the top two was intense for awhile with six cars going at it for third. Blake Adams would eventually take that spot with Jesse Brown in fourth and Cole Denner would wind up in fifth.

The USRA Modifieds concluded the program with their 25-car, 25-lap feature. Modified rookie Parker Hale zoomed to the early lead while being chased by the defending track champion Cory Crapser. Crapser snuck past Hale for the lead on lap nine and quickly extended hos lead.

Crapser led the rest of the way to pick up the win. Hales finished a very strong second and Ryan Wetzstein finished third after a good race with Jason Cummins and Joe Horgdal who finished fourth and fifth.
