SPRING VALLEY Minn. -- With three inches of rain at the speedway on Thursday night the crews went to work to bring in a raceable track all day Friday and Saturday. With heavy overcast skies not conducive to track prep the speedway held up relatively well with only a light blading at a short intermission to help fix a couple areas that were peeling up during the heat race action. The track was fast for the rest of the night with a lot of three wide racing throughout the field.

A big thank you goes out to Mike’s Hard Lemonade and Olympic Fire and Protection for the second straight week of paying for all of the drivers entries into the speedway. It was greatly appreciated by the drivers as the car counts have shown over the past two weeks. Another fantastic crowd and 144 cars were on hand for season championship night at Deer Creek Speedway.

Tommy Myer had the field pretty much covered as he led from the start of the Bigelow Homes USRA Modified event.

Tim Donlinger quickly put pressure on him and held close for the reminder of the race in second waiting for any mistake.

Early on the modifieds show some daring moved with some four wide battles out of turn two.

Tom Paulson ran beside of Myer and Donlinger early in the race until he spun with twenty one to go.

Steve Arpin and Nate Wasmund had a dog fight going for third on the restart while most of the rest of the field migrated to the top side of the speedway.

Steve Wetzstein hung around the fifth position for most of the event while Mark Noble worked up into the top five late in the feature after starting eleventh on the field.

With five to go Noble and Arpin had a great race going for third swapping spots back and forth until Arpin lost the handle on his machine ending his run.

The Season Championship was clinched by Mike Sorensen in the Bigelow Homes USRA Modifieds.
