WINSTON, Mo. -- USRA Hobby Stocks would take to the track next as Greg Gilbert #23g would use a pole starting spot to his advantage by taking the lead early and leading every lap on his way to claiming the checkers and victory number three this 2014 racing season. Bruce Lewis Jr #77L would hang tough throughout the feature and beat his sibling to the line to place second with brother Larry Lewis #7k placing third. Josh Adkins #15 would have mechanical issues late in the feature to place fourth as Scott Snyder #23bs would round out the top five. Heat race winner was Mich Ross #34.

In a talent loaded action packed feature the USRA B-Mods would not disappoint. Eddie Schwope Jr #91 would take the lead and look like the car to beat in the early stages of the race. Schwope would be challenged by Travis Walker #71 early and often only to see Randy Ainsworth #57 charge his way to the lead on his way to McCarthy Auto-Group Winner’s Circle. Ainsworth would use a high side maneuver to his advantage passing both Schwope, who would finish second, and Walker, who would place third, in one daring move. Big movers of the race were Jim Cameron #96c, finishing fourth, and Jacob Ebert #94 who would recover from an early race mishap to finish fifth. Heat race winners included Randy Ainsworth #57, Jack Stotts #12, and Travis Walker #71.

Never disappointing in quality and again astonishing the crowd with great racing action the USRA Stock Cars put on a whale of a show. Dean Wray #77 would use his front row starting spot to again see the checkers first on his way to claiming the nights top spot. Wray would be challenged late by John O’Neal Jr #33 with a drag race to the line as O’Neal would be forced to settle for second by half a car length. Thomas Roberts #65x would pilot his racecar to a consistent third place finish in an ever-tightening point’s battle with Wray. Darrel Whitt #4 and Chris Reiff #52 would have their own race within a race by battling side by side for the majority of the feature. Whitt would eventually gain the advantage by placing fourth with Reiff fifth. Heat race winners were Dean Wray #77 and John O’Neal Jr #33.

In a race to be remembered those High Flying-Alcohol Drinking-Fire Breathing USRA Modifieds would race their hearts out for all in attendance. In a barrowed car, point leader Zach Sanders #24j would gain the lead early only to see Sam Florence #42 fly by in turn one on the high side. Sanders would return the favor with a slide job in turn four to retake the lead and look to be the man to beat. As the racing action continued Bud Wilson #75 would make his presence felt and challenge both leaders. As the laps continued to click away Dennis Elliott #29 would move through the pack, coming from a fifth starting spot, passing all contenders claiming victory number six this 2014 racing season. Sam Florence would use the extreme high line off turn four in the closing laps to bring home his hotrod in second place, leaving Sanders third. Mike Van Genderen #57V would impress all by racing his way through the pack to finish fourth as Bud Wilson would slip late and place fifth. Heat race winners were Dennis Elliott and Bud Wilson.
