SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - August is drivers free month at the speedway and also kids month. Every kid walking through the front gates received a free popsicle courtesy of Deer Creek. Out back the drivers all got their pit passes back when they checked into the scoring shack courtesy of Mike’s Hard Lemonade, Dirt Doctor Trucking, Olympic Fire and Protection and Greenway Co-Op stores. Each driver also received a free watermelon courtesy of longtime race fan and supporter Chief. Five random kids drawings were done throughout the night with each kid presenting the feature winner his trophy with each kid able to return home with that trophy at the end of the racing action.

After a complete restart in the EZ Fabricating USRA Modifieds Steve Wetzstein led the field out of two. Unfortunately the lead was short lived as he looped the machine in front of the field in turn three and four.

On the restart the first five rows stayed two by two for two laps while Todd Scharkey slowed his machine on the top side of the speedway but was able to pull to the infield without bringing out a caution.

Josh Reisch took advantage of this moving into the lead while Bob Timm and Tyler Rubin raced for second. Timm took the spot with Brad Waits quickly following into third. Twenty to go and Reisch and Timm raced for the lead. Timm took the spot and moved into lapped traffic with seventeen to go. Waits moved into second as the top two slowly pulled away from the field.

Waits closed in on Timm with thirteen to go and the two ran close through lapped traffic. On the last lap heavy traffic played part in the finish with Timm around the bottom and Waits in the middle groove.

Timm got pinched in on the bottom while Waits only had one slower car to contend with. Timm was able to hang on by a half car lead over Waits.

Next week racing action starts at 6:00 with all five classes in action.
