Pat Graham won the Medieval USRA Stock Car main event.

This week at Deer Creek Speedway featured the 19th Annual Southern Minnesota Spring Challenge. Joining the Summit Racing Equipment USMTS Modifieds presented by RacinDirt were the Medieval USRA Stock Cars and Kid’s Dreams Come True USRA B-Mods.

There was a huge field of 55 B-Mods and 26 Stock Cars on hand for the event. The program was presented by Action Engineering, Randy & Sandy Norby and Bill & Brenda Weber, along with Orchard Creek Transportation.

The Stock Cars kicked off the feature races with pole sitter Shawn Peter out to the early lead. Pat Graham worked from row two and moved quickly to second. Graham moved in on lap seven to challenge Peter for the lead. One lap later and Graham took over the lead and started to pull away.

The race behind Graham was good as Todd Reitzler challenged Peter for second. Blake Adams, Mitch Hovden and Troy Hansmeier had a good race going behind that. The car on the move was Josh Zieman who started 16th and was just outside the top five.

Graham’s large lead was gone when a yellow flag came out on lap 12. The remaining eight laps Graham faced a serious challenge from Adams. Graham was up to that challenge and scored his first win at Deer Creek. Adams was a close second while Zieman drove all the way up to third. Hovden ended up in fourth and Reitzler was fifth.

It took six heat races and three B-mains to determine the 27-car starting field for the B-Mods. Noah Grinstead and Hunter Longnecker led the field to the green flag. Grinstead took off and opened up a large lead and pulled away from the pack.

Longnecker settled into second while Taylor Skauge was in third. Skauge eventually took over second and that pass for position would be huge. Grinstead was about a straightaway ahead of everyone as the 20-lap race neared conclusion.

Grinstead worked lapped traffic and that turned out to be an issue for the leader. Grinstead got into a slower car in turn three on the final lap and triggered a four-car pile-up. Grinstead was called for the caution and his hopes for a win were gone.

Skauge's pass for second proved valuable as he led the dash to the finish and won for the first time at Deer Creek. Longnecked finished second with Dan Hovden in third. Shaun Walski would finish in fourth while Michael Johnson came from 10th to fifth.
