SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - With Mother Nature dancing all around the Deer Creek Speedway Saturday, the drivers and crews showed up for another great night of racing action at the Southern Minnesota speedplant on Lake Geo Travel Plaza and Shaw Custom Homes Night. All of the drivers in attendance tonight drove through rain on their way to the track and a light sprinkle hit as the first of the heats hit the track. Fortunately the weather cleared and the show was able to be completed.

USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series natonal points leader Bob Timm drew the pole position with Mark Noble on his outside for the EZ fabricating USRA Modified feature. Timm jumped into the lead followed closely by Noble with Brad Wiats, Tyler Rubin and Steve Wetzstein racing for the third spot.

Waits took over the third spot with 20 two to go as Noble slid up in front of Timm. Timm reacted quickly and cut back under Noble to retake the lead. Noble then had his hands full with Waits hounding him closely as they started to work into lapped traffic with 14 to go.

Steve Arpin was also moving forward as he sat in fourth and Mike Sorensen into fifth. With 10 to go, the fun for Waits ended as he pulled down on the back straight.

A caution flew with 8 to go and Sorensen ran side by side with Noble for a lap until Noble gained control again and started working on Timm again.

The last five laps saw positions 3rd through 7th all bunched up and running close with Sorensen, Wetzstein, Arpin, Tommy Myer and Jason Cummins all racing close. After numerous position changes in the pack Cummins came home in fifth behind Arpin and Wetzstein.

Timm held off Noble to take home the win.

Another great night of racing action is expected next Saturday night, June 9, with racing action starting at 6:00
