SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - It was a night for clean sweeps with five of the six classes having the feature winner also winning a heat race. The only driver not able to pull off the clean sweep was veteran racer Mike Sorensen in the USRA RHS Modifieds.

Fourteen-year-old Lucas Schott and Sorensen ran side by side for the opening lap of the USRA RHS Modified feature event with Jay Ihrke in third.

Schott took control of the point running up high on lap two while Nate Wasmund and Ryan York raced for the fourth spot.

Wasmund took the spot as the first caution waved with three completed.

Schott led on the restart with Sorensen in second and Wasmund in third.

With eight down Tim Donlinger worked past Ihrke into fourth and then moved past Wasmund for third.

Further back in the field, Darrin Walch, Todd Scharkey, Jason Cummins and York were four wide for the fourth spot.

With 10 down Donlinger caught up to the front-runners as they went three wide for the lead.

With 11 down they continued to race three wide with Schott dropping back to third on lap 12.

Sorensen was able to hold off Donlinger on lap 14 to take sole possession of the point.

Walch and Ihrke were side by side for fifth with 17 down while Cummins and Scharkey continued to battle right behind them.

With 20 down the top three were still tight up front with Sorensen still holding the point.

Two laps later, Sorensen and Donlinger crossed the line in a dead heat with Sorensen holding the slightest of edge on the transponder system.

Donlinger took the lead as they came to the white but Sorensen shot out of turn 2 to regain control of the lead and took home the win.

Hare has been the dominate force since starting this class in 2010 and tonight was no different.

Hare took the lead at the drop of the green as Jacob Bleess sat in second early holding onto the spot until lap 2 when Kylie Kath moved into the second spot.

A caution with five down bunched the field back up with Hare leading while Kath and Colter Deutsch raced for second.

As they raced for second they both got loose with Bleess and Shaun Walski moving past them to take over second and third again.

With seven completed Jake Timm moved past Walski to moved into third as the yellow flew.

On the restart, Hare led with Timm getting the jump and into second ahead of Bleess.

At lap 10, Walski worked past Bleess to take over third while Kath quickly followed through to take over fourth from Bleess.

At the finish it was all Hare taking home the win.
