It was a jam-packed night of excitement Friday night at the Chateau Raceway. With six feature races to be made up, an entire show for this week and a spectacular fireworks display after the show, fans got their moneys worth this week.

It has been more often that not that Mother Nature has tried to crash the party at Chateau Raceway this season. The party was not only crashed, but the doors were blown open just when the night’s first feature race was on the track Friday night.

Six events are in the books for the Iron Man Challenge featuring USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars and USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mods, with 10 different winners emerging from 11 feature races so far.

Another new face entered victory lane at Chateau Raceway Friday night as Jacob Dahle recorded his first feature win of the season with close to 80 cars checked in for this week’s race program.

Tim Donlinger dominated the 25-lap USRA RHS Modified feature race Friday night at the Chateau Raceway. Donlinger started on the outside of row one and led the entire distance.

After heavy overnight and early morning rains of over an inch fell, it was amazing that the Chateau Raceway got a program started this week.

It finally felt more like early summer this week at Chateau Raceway with steamy temperatures in the low 90s. Racing resumed with action in all six divisions this week and some new winners added their names to the record books.

On the final circuit, Jason Cummins made a last ditch effort when the leaders came off of turn 4, but Steve Wetzstein edged Cummins by just a couple of feet.

Tim Donlinger took the lead from Jacob Dahle on lap 1 of the USRA RHS Modified feature and never looked back Friday night at the Chateau Raceway.

Jason Krohn stormed away from the field and picked up the USRA RHS Modified win Friday night at the Chateau Raceway in Lansing, Minn.

Racing fans will have to wait one more week to get their fix. The 2011 season opener at the Chateau Raceway was postponed for the second week in a row.

The 2011 racing season at the Chateau Raceway will start on Saturday, April 9, with an open practice for any racer who would like to test. It will also be a preview of what fans will get to see in action on Friday nights this summer at the Chateau Raceway.
