KASSON, Minn. - This week it was “Pack The Grandstand Night” at the Dodge County Speedway with $5 admission prices in effect. A great crowd was on hand and the pits were jammed full with 115 cars in attendance.
In the KM Telecom USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mod feature. Josh Gessell led the intitial lap but slid way high in turn four and shuffled up the field. Paul Neisius and Greg Mitchell snuck past and the battle was on.
Mitchell and Neisius exchanged the lead several times with Mitchell grabbing it on lap six. The race was good behind the leaders as Ben Moudry worked his way up to second getting by Neisius on lap eight and set his sights on the leader.
Moudry closed in on Mitchell and things got interesting as the white flag was displayed. They made contact on the frontstretch and raced close the entire last lap. Mitchell edged Moudry for the win as Brandon Hare was third. Neisius wound up fourth and Jeremy Schaufenbuel finished fifth.
Sorensen was able to pull away from Angst, but the race behind the leader was excellent. Angst, Bobby Swanson, Jay Ihrke and Tim Donlinger racing for position. Donlinger came alive just before the half way point and started moving.
Donlinger took fourth on lap eight then dove low and stole third a lap later. Donlinger followed Angst around the bottom for a couple of laps and then moved up the track. Donlinger dashed by Angst on lap ten and then took off after Sorensen.
The race for third through sixth was intense as Steve Wetzstein entered the fray. As the laps wore down, Donlinger was definitely catching Sorensen. The question was would he have enough time to make a pass.
With two laps remaining, Donlinger was right on Sorensen and made the pass for the lead. Donlinger led the remaining lap to take home the win with Sorensen second. Wetzstein won the battle for third with Angst and Ihrke in the top five.
Racing will continue next Sunday, May 9, and it was announced that the $5 adult admission price will return once again next Sunday to help celebrate Mother’s Day.
