Brooms come out at Chateau Speedway

Josh Angst won the USRA Modified feature.

Mother Nature has continued her run of great Friday weather giving the re-opened Chateau Speedway a fourth straight perfect night for high-speed action. The drivers rolled off a near perfect set of heats in just over an hour. The feature half of the show for many of the classes was a different story however.

The Out-Pace USRA B-Mods were one of the classes plagued by cautions and in the end it may have cost Brandon Hare of Elma, Iowa, the win. Hare led lap after lap with he and A.J. Zvorak of Blooming Prairie stretching out a good lead only to have the yellow flags keep bunching the group back up.

The restarts worked to the advantage of Kadden Kath of Owatonna who moved his way up into a three-way battle for the lead which he eventually won. Kath's feature win was his second of the year. Hare came home in second ahead of Zvorak followed by Derek Clement of Spring Valley and Taylor Ausrud of Hayfield.

Hare and Clement along with Dustin Kruse of Brandon, South Dakota, claimed the classes heat wins.


Kadden Kath won the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature.

The USRA Modified feature was slowed by five cautions but Josh Angst of Winona survived all the restarts as he led flag to flag for the win in his first appearance at the track this season.

A.J. Roschen of Sommerset, Wisconsin, who started on the front row with Angst, stayed within striking distance of him all race long but he was forced to settle for runner-up status. Defending track champion Jason Cummins of New Richland came home in third ahead of Joe Horgdahl of Kasson and Doug Hillson of Blooming Prairie.

Heat winners for the A Mods were Cummins and Angst.

Fans and drivers will be looking for another picture perfect night next Friday, August 17, as racing action continues with the first green flag of the night scheduled for 7:15 p.m. Next week's program will feature six classes of action with USRA Modifieds and Out-Pace USRA B-Mods plus WISSOTA Street Stocks, Midwest Modifieds, Y Waste Hornets and Power 96 Pure Stocks.
