SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - A little gusty with the winds today but otherwise temps hovered in the upper 70’s and the weather was perfect as a nice crowd gathered throughout the day's racing activities Saturday at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn.

Brad Waits took the lead on the drop of the green during the EZ Fabricating USRA Modified feature event while Alan Mondus quickly moved into second.

A caution after the first lap saw Tim Donlinger use the restart to his advantage and moved into the second spot.

Mondus and Ryan York had a great race for third going until another caution flew with 20 laps to go.

Waits continued to lead up front running the high line around the speedway while Donlinger raced low on the speedway. Nate Wasmund liked the restart as he found his way into third.

Mike Sorensen and Jason Cummins fond the fast way in the next couple laps as they moved up into the top-5. Wasmund had a big push in one corner and slipped back outside the top-5.

Waits continued to lead up front and took home with the win over Donlinger. Mondus came home third with Sorensen and Cummins staying in the top-5.
