Shaun Walski won the USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mod main event on Saturday, July 31, at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn.

SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - It was announced as each driver took their victory lane photo that Randy and Patti Eastvold of Hanson Tire in LeRoy was adding $100 to the check of each feature winner.

The Eastvolds continued to show their appreciation to the drivers by adding to the winner's check for the second week in a row.

Their generosity is greatly appreciated by all of the drivers, fans and Deer Creek Speedway as they support the speedway and the racing action.

Tim Donlinger jumped out front in the USRA RHS Modified feature event and that is all that you can say about Donlinger leading the race as he pulled away from the field and left them.

However behind Donlinger there were some very hard fought and entertaining battles. Bobby Swanson sat in second early with Jay Ihrke and Josh Angst racing for third.

Angst held onto the spot as Steve Wetzstein was working the bottom and now started to race Ihrke for fourth.

From sixth on back the field was two and three wide for positions as the yellow waved on lap nine.

On the restart Wetzstein powered out of two and took over the second spot.

On lap ten Angst kept it flying on the high side to take over the second spot.

Mike Sorensen, Ihrke, Jason Cummins and Todd Scharkey were all racing for fifth at the time behind Swanson.

Sorensen took the spot briefly but Scharkey and Ihrke shot back by on the next lap. With eighteen complete Donlinger was way out front as Cummins now worked on Ihrke for fifth.

Cummins took the spot on lap twenty as the final five laps ticked away.

Donlinger came home with the win followed by Angst and Wetzstein in the top three.

Brain Mahlstedt sat in second with Troy Hovey trying to take the spot away from him.

Hovey pushed up out of four with Mahlstedt slowing and Brandon hare and Parker Hale blasting by into second and third.

The first caution flew on lap three.

On the restart Walski continued to lead with Hare in second.

Kylie Kath worked into fourth and started to race Hale for the third spot.

Another restart with seven completed saw Hare leading as Walski was docked for jumping the last restart.

Walski didn't let it bother him and moved into second spot right away.

With fourteen down Kath worked under Hale for third spot.

A green-white-checkered dash to the finish saw Hare leading with Walski second.

Walski jumped to the top of the speedway and caught Hare on the backstretch.

They ran through three and four side by side and at the line it was Walski with his first feature win at Deer Creek Speedway.
