The calendar has turned to August and that means the racing season is coming into the home stretch at Chateau Speedway powered by Garlick’s Water. After Friday night's action sponsored by Skjeveland Enterprises and Midwest Repairables, just four nights remain to decide track championships.

Dan Wheeler of Savage put together a clean sweep as he scored a pair of wins in the USRA B-Mods. It was his first feature win in almost two years at the Chateau Speedway.

Levi Chipp of Latimer, Iowa, came home second in his first appearance of the season at the track. Points leader Michael Johnson of Rose Creek took the other heat win.

Blake Adams of McIntire, Iowa, brought his broom with him as he swept the Medieval USRA Stock Car class.

After leading flag to flag in his heat, it took just three laps to get to the front in the feature. From there he set sail to his second feature win of the year.

A.J. Zvorak of Blooming Prairie, who has had feature wins in other class over the years, scored his first in the USRA Modified class.

Zvorak started outside front row, and after a good jump on the drop of the green led flag to flag in taking the win.

Jason Cummins of New Richland and Darwyn Karau of Kasson had the heat wins.

Two big specials will wrap up the season in September including the Spirit of 83 Mike Guttormson Memorial and the Summit Shootout for Medieval USRA Stock Cars.

Racing action continues next Friday, Aug. 12, with all six classes back in action. the first green flag is set for 7:15 p.m.
