couple restarts a single file field was required to get the racing action
underway. Ryan Siegle jumped out to the early lead with Cole Queensland in
second. Jeff Brauer worked into third. Queensland put pressure on Siegle
early working to his inside until his mount slowed and pulled into the
infield. Brauer and Siegle battled from lap ten to the finish with Brauer

midcorner, only able to pull alongside slightly but not abel to pull off the
pass. Seigel hung on for the win with Brauer second, Bob Fort, Ed Sanders
and Bobby Saterdalen rounded out the top five.

job. Jay Ihrke and Mike Sorensen were racing for the third spot while Jason
Cummins was behind them. With fifteen to go Cummins moved below Ihrke and
Wetzstein to take over the third spot. The field stayed in formation over

the green. Justin Sass sat in second with Nick Kramer in third early on.

later but was unable to catch Hanson as he took home the win, Foss came home

working past Hager for third. With sixteen to go Queensland moved up on the
high shelf while Siegle worked the bottom of the speedway. Queensland took
over the lead with Brauer moving into second. Siegle and Jay Kitner now
raced hard for the third spot as Queensland looked to stretch his advantage.

for the second spot. Huse took the second spot and set out after the leader
on the next lap. With eight to go Huse showed himself at the bottom of the
track with Queensland quickly moving down to take over the line. The two ran
side by side on the bottom groove of the speedway for the next six laps
until Huse tried the extreme high line and lost control of his mount.

and Bob Fort rounded out the top five.

low. With four to go Matthees took over second while Kerry Hanson and

o'clock hour. Layne Meyer led the first lap of the EZ Fabricating USRA
Modified feature with Tom Paulson in second. Bob Timm worked past Paulson
for second as Tim Donlinger moved in third. With four completed Timm moved
under Meyer for the lead. Donlinger quickly moved into second on the next
lap and set his sights for the leader. With Timm runnning low on the
speedway Donlinger moved his left front tire onto the edge of the grass/berm
around the track and worked that to try and get around Timm. With fifteen to
go Donlinger made the line work and took the lead. Further back through the
field Jason Cummins and Brad Waits tried to move up the speedway and blow in
a new line. Cummins had success and with ten to go found himself in fifth
spot. Two laps later he moved past Paulson for fourth. With three to go
Cummins moved past Meyer for third and coming to the white flag moved past
Timm to take second. A few more laps and the race up front could have gotten
heated but Donlinger had the line and took home the win over Cummins and
Timm.
