WINSTON, Mo.—Starting the night’s racing action Saturday at the I-35 Speedway were the make-up features from May 16. First to take to the track were the USRA B-Mods with Ed Noll picking up his first ever victory at I-35 Speedway. Noll would use a pole starting spot to lead every lap but was challeneged consistently by second place finisher Danan Knott. Jim Cameron and Randy Ainsworth would duel to the checkers with Cameron placing third and Ainsworth fourth. Current point leader Tim Eaton was the big mover of the race by coming from back to front to place a consistent fifth. Heat race winners included Noll, Cameron, Ainsworth and Eaton.

Next up on the track was the make-up feature for the USRA Stock Cars and they would not disappoint. Dean Wray and Jason Estes would race side by side, swapping the lead lap after lap. Heat race winner Wray would pick up the feature win holding other heat race winner Estes to place second. Current USRA Stock Car national points leader Thomas Roberts would finish a solid third with Jon Boller Jr. fourth. Jeff Dixon would round out the feature’s top five.

High in number and quality, the USRA B-Mods would charge to the track and see repeat winner Andy Bryant in McCarthy Auto Group Victory Lane. Early leader and heat race winner Nic Hanes would fight tooth and nail until contact would take Hanes out of contention for the win. Heat race winner Bryant would take over the lead and never relinquish it. Heat race winner Jeremy Pittsenbarger would live up to his nickname by using the high-side on his way to claim second place. Eaton would again show poise and consistency by racing his way to finish third. Big mover of the feature by coming through the B-Feature and through the pack in the feature was Clint Baker by placing fourth. Heat race winner Cameron would round out the feature’s top five. Other heat race winner was Donnie Miller; B-Feature winners were David Bouzek and Ainsworth.

In a race to be remembered by all in attendance, the USRA Stock Cars continue their impressive ways. Heat race winner Dixon would be standing tall in victory lane when the checkers were waved. Dixon would take the early lead only to slip high in turn two allowing Wray to take the lead. Dixon would then mount a charge back to the front by using the high side and sail past second place finisher Wray. Big Mover of the race was Billie Hoover passing cars on the high side on his way to a third place finish. Heat race winner Estes would recover from an early race mishap to place fourth. Roberts would again race his way to a solid fifth place finish. Other heat race winner was Boller.

High-flying, fire-breathing, alcohol-drinking USRA Modifieds would round out the night’s racing action. Heat race winners Terry Schultz and Jim Moody would race side by side for the first four circuits until Schultz would gain the advantage off turn number four. Schultz would hold the lead late until Matt Dotson would challenge on the high side but come up just short as Schultz would be the victor. Heat race winner Dotson would make a gallant effort only to finish second. Aaron Marrant would battle door to door with Johnny Fennewald with Marrant third and Fennewald fourth. I-35 Speedway defending Track Champion Zach Sanders would charge through the pack and end the night in fifth. Other heat race winner was Austin Johnson .

I-35 Speedway would like to thank all of our great drivers and fans alike for an amazing night of racing action. See everyone next week for more “Dirt Trackin at its Best.”
