Deer Creek Speedway hardware goes home with Steensma, Hare

SPRING VALLEY, Minn. -- Trevor Fecht led on the drop of the green during the USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mod feature with Brandon Hare quickly dropping into second. Hare ran the low line and pulled alongside of Fecht to take the lead on lap two.

Shaun Walski moved up to battle with Fecht on lap three while Drew Lawson and Jacob Bleess raced for fourth. Bleess held onto the position while Mike Jaeger now started to race Lawson for fifth. The two made contact bringing out the caution on lap six.

On the restart Hare led with Kylie Kath, Bleess and Scott Demmer three wide for fourth. Bleess and Kath made contact with both cars dropping back a few positions but Kath decided to slow and bring out the caution sending him to the back. On the restart with seven down Lawson, Bleess, Jeff Kennett and Alex Williamson got tangled up in two. Hare led on the restart with Walski in second.

Fecht ran in third with Erik Kanz working low on him. Kanz took over third just as Walski suddenly slowed and pulled to the infield. Jaeger slowly worked his way back into the top five and was working in Kath for third as he lost the handle on his machine again this time pulling to the infield.

Hare came home with the win followed by Kanz, Kath, Demmer and Fecht.

Kevin Stoa led out of two in the USRA RHS Modified feature with Jason Miller in second. Mike Steensma worked under Miller on lap two and shot past Stoa to take the lead. Jacob Dahle now raced with Miller for third. With six laps completed Steensma had already pulled out to a straight-away lead over Stoa.

Miller and Dahle were still mixing it up for third on lap seven. Miller took the spot and Bob Timm started to race Dahle for fourth. With fourteen down Steensma started to work lapped traffic as the caution flew. On a restart with eighteen laps done, Steensma slowly pulled away while Stoa raced with Miller for second. Tim Donlinger moved up and raced Timm for fourth.

Miller took over second on lap twenty while Donlinger now raced Stoa for third. At the finish it was Steensma, Miller, Donlinger, Stoa and Timm.

The tech men walked onto the front straight and pulled the 8,000 rpm chip out of the top 5 cars and then replaced them with a 3500 rpm chip and restarted their cars to make sure everyone is playing on the same field. All engines responded to the RPM chip and everyone was deemed legal.

Racing action resumes next Saturday with the IRA 410 Sprint Cars at the speedway. Racing action starts at 6:00 with the slingshots starting at 3:00.
