Michael Johnson won the USRA B-Mod main event.

Weather was perfect for the fourth night of action at Chateau Speedway powered by Garlick’s Water Friday as fans and drivers filed in for a night of exciting dirt track action.

When the night was over fans saw three Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series drivers pick up their first feature wins of the year on French’s Repair & Fabrication and Radio Link Internet Night.

For the first time this year it wasn’t Travis Shipman of Mason City, Iowa, that pulled into Victory Lane after the Medieval USRA Stock Car Feature.

Joe Schmit of Ventura, Iowa, stopped Shipman’s run of three straight features to open the year by taking the lead off the drop of the green and leading flag to flag in the caution-free main event.

Shipman chased him all the way to the checkers with Blake Adams of McIntire, Iowa, in third. Schmit also grabbed the heat win for the class giving him a sweep for the night.

In the USRA B-Mods, Michael Johnson of Rose Creek outdueled Kullen Kath of Owatonna for the top spot and his first feature win of the year.

After several first-lap cautions which had seen Johnson get the advantage when the actual first lap was completed, it was Kath on the point. Johnson stayed close and used the cushion off the high side of turn four as they completed lap 8 to pull alongside Kath before completing the pass in turns one and two.

Hunter Kennedy of St. Ansgar, Iowa, came home third followed by Jett Sorensen of Rochester and Noah Grinstead of Austin. Sorensen, Grinstead and Cole Neisus of Hastings had heat wins in the division.

To wrap up the night it was six-time track champion Jason Cummins who took his first trek to victory lane this year in the USRA Modifieds.

Cummins made a big move from third to first about midway through the feature taking advantage of a restart.

Steve Wetzstein of West Concord had the early lead ahead of Kylie Kath of Claremont. Cummins jumped to the front in a lap and a half moving to second in turns one and two and going to the point a lap later.

Ryan Wetzstein of West Concord came home in second in one of the more impressive runs of the night after he rolled his car in his heat and the car had to be lifted at both ends to get it off the track. His crew somehow managed to get it back going for the feature and he pulled from row six up to a second-place finish ahead of his dad.

Cummins’ win completed a sweep on the night as he also scored a heat win. Steve Wetzstein had the other heat win in the class.

Action continues next Friday night with all six classes back in action. The green flag flies at 7:15 at Chateau Speedway in Lansing, just north of Austin.
