Chad Schroeder won the Medieval USRA Stock Car main event.

There was plenty of action Friday night at the Chateau Speedway powered by Garlick’s Water as three Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series classes provided the fireworks to kick off the Fourth of July Weekend.

One class had a different feature winner every week so all eyes were on the USRA Modifieds to see if the streaks would continue. As it turned out, it did.

In the USRA Modifieds, Ryan Wetzstein of West Concord claimed his first feature win of the season by 0.056 second over Jason Cummins of New Richland.

Wetzstein led the first several laps before slipping up high in turn 4 on lap 8 to let A.J. Zvorak of Blooming Prairie slip by, but a lap later in a three-wide scramble into turn 3 with Zvorak in the middle of him and Cummins he went back to the point.

Cummins stayed close and made a big push to the inside coming to the checkers that came up just short. Wetzstein also took over the points lead with the win. Cummins had one of the heat wins on the night with the other going to Cole Anderson of Le Center.

Chad Schroeder of Belle Plaine became another first time feature winner this summer as he took the MEdieval USRA Stock Car main event. Travis Shipman of Mason City, Iowa, who has three feature wins in the class this year, led the first lap as the two cars ran side-by-side for the first three laps.

Schroeder had the advantage on lap 2 at the line and maintained the lead the rest of the way. Shipman stayed on his back bumper the entire race looking for an opening that never came.

Chris Adams of McIntire Iowa took third. Kevin Vogt of Rose Creek had the lone heat win.

Michael Johnson of Rose Creek picked up his second feature win of the year in the USRA B-Mods. Johnson started in row 5 and had worked his way up to third when a caution came out on lap 8.

A big push on the restart saw him leap frog to the lead on lap 9 and he stayed there the rest of the way.

Noah Grinstead of Austin held off Hunter Kennedy of St. Ansgar, Iowa, for second. Kennedy and Scott Demmer of Ellendale had wins in the two heat races.

The track will be taking next weekend off from its regular racing program with the regular six classes of cars back in action the following Friday, July 15, with the addition of the Mid-American Renegade Sprints.

The first green flag is set to fly at 7:15 p.m.
