SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - A absolutely huge field of cars checked into the pit gate on this Independence Day Weekend at the Deer Creek Speedway with 141 cars.

Joel Alberts jumped out to the early lead in the USRA RHS Modifieds with Mike Sorensen falling in behind him in second. Josh Mattick sat in third with A.J. Wiste and Ryan York sat inside the top-5.

A caution flew with five completed which saw Alberts again leading the way with Sorensen in second. Josh Angst and Mattick were side by side for third. Jason Cummins sat in fifth behind them. On the next lap, Cummins moved past Mattick and pressured Angst for third.

With 8 laps completed, Cummins now sat in third while Alberts continued to lead by about four car-lengths. Another caution with 10 down that saw Alberts leading with Sorensen pressuring him hard. A big gaggle of cars raced for positions five through ten for the next three laps, while up front Sorensen moved past Alberts for the lead.

With 14 laps complete, Alberts and Cummins were side by side for the second spot. Cummins took the spot two laps later as Darrin Walch worked into the top-5 as he sat in fourth.

With five laps left, Walch took over third but two laps later Alberts worked past Walch again for third. Al Hejna moved into fifth after starting 23rd on the field with three left.

The race up front got tight with two to go as Cummins moved alongside of Sorensen for the lead. Sorensen was not to be denied the win and pulled back out front as the checkers flew.
