SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - Wow, were did the season go already? Track championship night, I didn't think we were to mid-season yet, but what a great season it has been at the Deer Creek Speedway.

Dan Bohr led out of turn two in the USRA RHS Modified division but Jason Cummins moved past him down the back straight to take over the lead on lap one. Steve Wetzstein and Todd Scharkey were racing for third with Wetzstein taking that spot and then second away from Bohr on lap two. Mark Noble and Nate Wasmund raced for fourth. Darrin Walch moved into fourth on lap three and then started to pressure Noble for fourth. A restart on lap four saw Cummins continue to fly up top while Wasmund, Wetzstein and Noble were three wide for second. Noble took the spot with Walch moving past the other two into the third spot on lap five. By lap ten Cummins was flying out front but the two battles that would run for the next fifteen laps were starting to show. Walch and Noble raced for second while Wetzstein and Lucas Schott were side by side for fourth. These two battles for position ran down to the last lap with Walch taking second ahead of Noble. Schott came home fourth and Wetzstein fifth while Cummins flew home to the win on the top side of the speedway.

Brandon Hare took home the title in the USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mod division but championship night belonged to Oskaloosa, Iowa, driver Tyler Groenedyk. Groenedyk took the early lead in the feature event and slowly started to pull away from the field while Jacob Bleess sat in second early. Mike Jaeger and Brandon Hare raced for fourth behind Parker Hale. Hare and Jaeger kept their race going until lap nine when Hare took the spot and eventually moved past Hale on lap ten. By lap twelve Hare moved past Bleess for second but Groenedyk had pulled out to over a full straight away lead by that point. Jaeger and Bleess battled for third for the final three laps with Jaeger taking the position as the checkers flew.
