Josh Angst won the USRA Modified feature.


The hottest weather of the summer greeted fans and drivers Friday Night for week ten of racing action at Chateau Speedway. Friday Nights action was sponsored by Motor Supply Company of Austin and Albert Lea as well as R and S Racing of Albert Lea. All the Kids in attendance were treated to a Free Freeze Pops before the races and than to help Cool off The Flagman they were all given Water Balloons at Intermission to try and hit the flagman. Flagman Ross Spitzer was a great sport about the whole thing and ended up quite wet from all the water balloons that flew his way.

On The Track the action was hot as well with several features running caution free. Leading the way with twenty-five laps of non stop action were the USRA Modifieds. Dustin Brown of Thornton Iowa lead the first lap before Josh Angst of Winona moved out of row two to the front on lap two and set sail to lead the field the rest of the way. Despite leading so many laps and having a fairly nice lead Angst had plenty of work to do to take home the win. With Brandon Davis of Hayfield closing in on him as they hit traffic about half way through the race Josh put on a clinic on setting up the cars to lap them. By the time the checkers fell there were just four cars on the lead lap. The majority of his passes he would pull tight up to them out of turn four and dive to the bottom of the track in turn one to put them behind him and between him and Davis. He made just one pass on the outside down the front straightaway as he kept his momentum rolling lap after lap to score his second feature win of the year at Lansing. Jason Cummins of New Richland came home third followed by Taylor Ausrud of Hayfield. Darwyn Karau of Kasson rounded out the top five one lap down. Josh also had a heat win on the night giving him a sweep. Davis had the classes other heat win.

The Out-Pace USRA B-Mods ran twenty laps of caution free action in there feature but that was after two first lap cautions slowed the start of there race. Kadden Kath of Owatonna started outside of Noah Grinstead of Austin on the front row and the two stayed side by side the first lap before Kath cleared Noah and set sail to his third feature win of the year. It was also a sweep for Kadden on the night as he also had a heat win. Hunter Kennedy of St Ansgar Iowa had his hands full with Brandon Hare of Elma Iowa down the stretch but held him back to take home third. Mark Motl of Owatonna, who scored a heat win earlier in the night, rounded out the top five.

Temperatures are forecast to be a little more reasonable when next Friday Night comes around. The first green flag is scheduled for 7:15 as the 63rd Anniversary Season rolls on at Lansing.
