Masters, Demmer garner Industrial Material Surplus Iron Man Challenge victories at Deer Creek Speedway
SPRING VALLEY, Minn. (May 26) – A fantastic night of racing greeted fans Saturday at the Deer Creek Speedway as the Industrial Material Surplus Iron Man Challenge featuring USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods delivered another nail-biter.
In the 25-lap Stock Car main event, veteran Steve Jackson of Polk City, Iowa, showed the way for the first 21 laps, but Jake Masters of Graettinger, Iowa, found his way around Jackson with just over three laps remaining and drove to his fifth career Iron Man victory and a $700 payday.
Kyle Falck of Decorah, Iowa, took home $500 for his runner-up finish while fellow Decorah driver and defending USRA Stock Car National Champion Mitch Hovden came home fourth ahead of Jackson.
Dan Christopher finished fifth to give the Decorah aces three of the top five positions. Sixth through tenth went to Matt Jones, Shawn Peter, Kevin Donlan, Luke Sathoff and Roger Verdoorn.
Despite his 13th-place finish, Tom Schmitt inherited the points lead for the USRA Stock Cars and holds a six-point advantage over Jackson. The rest of the top 10 spots belong to Tory Reicks, Dennis Plain, Rich Gregoire, Masters, Mike Van Genderen and Falck, with Hovden and Sean Johnson tied for tenth.
In the USRA B-Mod feature race, Scott Demmer of Ellendale, Minn., pocketed the $500 top prize as he led from start to finish in a caution-plagued event that was shortened to 15 laps.
Brian Mahlstedt of Ionia, Iowa, was second and points leader Trevor Hunt of Liberty, Mo., made his debut in the Gopher State with a third-place finish.
Kylie Kath and Tyler Droste wound up fourth and fifth. Jacob Bleess, Shaun Walski, Brian Schrage, Erik Kanz and Matt Lettow rounded out the top-10 finishers.
The next Iron Man event for the USRA B-Mods will Saturday, June 23, at the Valley Speedway in Grain Valley, Mo., before joining back up with the Stock Cars on Wednesday, June 27, at the Mineral City Speedway in Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Both events will be run in conjunction with the USMTS Modifieds.
