SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - Gloomy skies and back-to-normal temperatures were found at the Deer Creek Speedway on Evan’s Printing Night. A light rain helped with the track prep early in the afternoon but once racing action got underway another rain cloud moved in during the heat races, slowing up the action as the crew rolled the track back in. The track was fast with a small cushion that the crew kept working on all night to keep minimal which produced some fast and exciting racing.

The EZ-Fabricating USRA Modified feature was the last one of the night. As they exited turn 2 four-wide for the lead, you knew it was going to be exciting.

Tommy Myer took the lead with Brad Waits moving into second. Dripps had a flat tire with two laps down, bunching up the field. Myer led on the restart with Waits trying to work to his low side as another caution flew on the next lap. On the next restart Waits drove it hard into turn 1 and took the lead exiting turn 2 as Myer now had his hands full of Mark Noble.

With 17 to go, the read end of Tim Donlinger’s car broke, sending him crashing into the turn 1 wall and ending his night. Waits again led on the restart while Bob Timm and Noble now battled hard, swapping spots and lines in every corner racing for second. Timm eventually took the spot as Noble slid back behind Myer after pushing up in turn 2.

With 10 to go, Noble and Alan Mondus were now racing for fourth with Mondus gaining control of the spot with seven to go.

Waits pulled out to a full straightaway lead as he took home the win.

Racing action starts at 5 p.m. next Saturday night with all five classes in action.
