SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - On Images by Design and US Army Night at the Deer Creek Speedway, Bob Timm and Steve Wetzstein battled the first lap for the lead of the EZ Fabricating USRA Modified feature.

Wetzstein took over the lead with Mike Sorensen moving past Timm into second.

The first caution flew on lap 3 with Wetzstein leading on the restart. Another caution flew on lap 6 for a three-car spin out of turn 2.
