to be on his way to a Miller Lite IMCA Modified feature win. McGee took the
lead from his front row start and led the eighteen car field around the 3/8

would allow Scott Hogan, who had moved into second, to close in on McGee .
Hogan took advantage of the late race restart to chase down McGee passing
him in turn four on the final lap for the win. McGee running a great race
finished second and Rich Smith followed in third.
Chad Huston
picked up his first W.T.Gabeline and Sons Trucking 305 Sprint feature win
topping the nineteen car field. Alan Ambers took the first lead of the
twenty lap race leading the first three laps. The next leader of the race
would be Brandyn Martin who led the race for the next nine laps before
Huston would make a pass for the lead on lap thirteen. Huston led the
remaining seven laps with Justin Parrish moving into second on lap
seventeen when Martin got too high in turn two. Huston went on to take the
checkered flag by several car lengths for the win followed by Parrish,
Martin and Jayson Ditsworth who moved up from the rear of the field to
finish fourth.
Keith Pratt,
Mendon, Il, led from start to finish in the nineteen car J & J Steel/Ideal

comfortable lead early on but by lap eighteen Justin Reed was closing the
gap using the inside of the track. Reed would pull along side Pratt with
three laps to go but couldnt get past him as Pratt took the checkered flag
by a single car length. Reed followed in second and Rob Toland would finish
third.

edge of their seats for the Pepsi Hobby Stock feature when Dean Kratzer took
the checkered flag only inches ahead of Ray Raker. Kratzer took the lead on
the first lap battling Dane Fenton early on. Fenton would get by Kratzer on
lap five but couldnt hold on as Kratzer took the lead back one lap later.
