Deer Creek Speedway crowns 2007 champions

SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - A great field of cars turned out for the last points race of the 2007 season at Deer Creek Speedway with 126 racers checking into the back. A whopping 40 USRA modifieds took to the track during the night in preparation of the upcoming USMTS Shows over the next two weeks. The track crew did an awesome job in getting the track back into a raceable shape after over 10” of rain fell on the speedway from Saturday to Thursday. A lot of time and effort was put into the speedway to get it smooth for the championship night.

A huge field of 40 EZ Fabricating USRA Modifieds pulled onto the speedway for their final point race of the 2007 racing season. Mike Sorensen and Shawn Peterson paced the field to the green flag. After coming out of two Sorensen held the lead that he would never relinquish for the remainder of the event. Bob Timm quickly overtook Peterson for the second spot as the field raced all over the speedway. Tim Donlinger overtook Peterson for third with twenty to go from his seventh starting spot but the leaders were too far out front for him to garner any challenge. Brad Waits sat in fifth with Kelly Shryock challenging him for the position. Todd Scharkey sat soundly in fourth as Waits and Shryock raced for the fifth spot. Shryock eventually took the spot as the feature went green/white/checker. Sorensen took home the win while Timm took home the title of 2007 Deer Creek USRA modified champion.

Next up for the fans and drivers at Deer Creek Speedway will be the Baudoin Oil Labor Day Dual with the USMTS and the WDRL. WISSOTA Classes will return to action on the 6th of September as the Midwest Modifieds join the USMTS during the Featherltie Fall Jamboree.
