Keith Foss won the USRA Modified feature.

The ongoing theme for 2017 is Mother Nature trying to spoil race night at Deer Creek Speedway. It was up in the air until mid-afternoon if racing would take place this week. The rain threat abated for a bit and the show was on. A brief shower halted the show during the USRA B-Mod heat races, but the show was completed.

Season championships were on the line this week, but most of the drama was already over in most of the divisions. This week’s program was presented by Clements Chevrolet, Ranfy & Sandy Norby, B&K Millright, Adams Graphix and Wagner Trucking.

Jim Chisholm did what he had to do but it still was not quite enough to win the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod track championship. Chisholm pulled off of row one and led every lap of the 18-lap feature for his third win of the season. But Dustin Kruse’s third place finish earned himself enough points to claim the title.

Chisholm dominated the race and was never seriously challenged. The race for second was good with Alex Williamson, Parker Hale and Brian Mahlstedt. Kruse got into the top five on lap seven and then was fourth on lap 10. Kruse then passed Williamson on lap 14 for third.

Chisholm got his third win of the season with Hale a strong second. Kruse was third while J.T. Wasmund finished in the fourth spot. Kadden Kath would finish in the fifth spot at the checkered flag.

Jim Chisholm won the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature.

Tony Schill started on the pole of the Napa Auto Care Centers USRA Modified feature and led in turn one. Keith Foss planted himself high on the cushion and blasted by for the lead in turn two. Tammy Soma-Clark and Brian Shaw crashed on lap two that resulted in Clark rolling over to bring out the red flag.

Foss took off on the green while Schill pounded the wall and slowed. Josh Angst got to second with Lucas Schott third. Dustin Sorensen was on the charge from 14th and was fourth. Sorensen slipped past Schott for third on lap five.

Foss checked out and was a straightaway ahead of the rest of the pack. Jason Cummins moved to fifth and raced Schott for fourth. Sorensen caught and passed Angst for second on lap 12 and then Cummins was right with Angst for third.

Foss dominated the race for his first win this season. Sorensen’s run ended in second with Angst third. Cummins wound up fourth and won the track title and Schott rounded out the top five.
