Jason Cummins won the USRA Modified feature.

This week at Deer Creek Speedway featured “Christmas In July” The track was decorated up for Christmas, Santa Claus was on hand and sled races were held to determine the weekly bike giveaway. There was also a campsite Christmas decoration contest at the campground. Clements Subaru also held a toy drive for the Salvation Army’s Toy & Joy Shop.

Another big field of 110 cars signed in and five drivers would get out the brooms and score clean sweeps. The show was presented by Pine Island Lumber, Titan Pro, Blake Trucking and Osage Co-op. Mother Nature tried in earnest to spoil Christmas for everyone, but just created a delay in the program.

Shortly after the start of the night’s first feature race, sprinkles started to fall. The shower got a little heavier and the caution flag came out for the slick track. The shower abated, but created a 50-minute delay in the show. The speedway was rolled back in and the race was resumed.

A big field of 34 Out-Pace USRA B-Mods was whittled down to a 24-field for their 18-lap feature. Ben Moudry and J.T. Wasmund brought the field to the green flag and Moudry took off from the start. Jon Van Minsel challenged Wasmund for second with Dustin Kruse in the mix also.

A five-car crash in turn one on lap seven brought out the red flag. Jett Sorensen was caught up in the wreck and rolled over several times. Kylie Kath was black-flagged for the incident and, fortunately, all drivers were uninjured.

Moudry used the top groove to again pull away from the pack. Kruse darted to second with Wasmund third. Jerry Young was up to fourth on lap eight and Nick Wagner entered the top five. A caution then came out to bring the field back to Moudry’s rear bumper.

It didn’t matter because Moudry again pulled away on the restart. Wasmund and Kruse raced for second until Kruse broke away. Moudry led the rest of the way for the win and became the first repeat winner in the division. It was also a sweep for Moudry after he won his heat earlier in the night.

Ben Moudry won the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature.

Kruse was second with Wasmund third. Wagner finished fourth and row seven starter Dan Hovden finished in fifth.

Lucas Schott and Jason Cummins brought the 23-car USRA Modified feature to the green for the 25-lap nightcap. Schott led lap one, but Cummins zoomed past on lap two.

Cummins pulled away to claim his fifth win of the season and it was also a clean sweep for him too. Schott finished a distant second while Keith Foss was third after a good race for that spot. Tenth starter Brad Waits finished fourth and Adam Hensel was fifth.
