Nick Anvelink passed Brett Swedberg on the final lap to win his second consecutive Late Model feature and third overall feature of the season.
Looking for his first feature finish of the season, Swedberg took the lead at the start of the feature. Rob Krull and Jeff Curtin chased Swedberg through the early stages of the race while Anvelink began working forward from his ninth-place starting position. Anvelink passed Curtin and Krull on lap nine to move to second behind Swedberg, who had put some distance between himself and Anvelink as the pair approached lapped traffic.
Anvelink showed the nose of his car to Swedberg on multiple occasions, but Swedberg was able to accelerate ahead of him.
Both drivers pushed their cars to the limit in the final turn with Swedberg actually brushing the wall as they entered the frontstretch. Anvelink found the room and was able to beat Swedberg to the line for the win. Ron Berna took third in the race.
IMCA Modified
Shawn Frelich led the opening lap of the IMCA Modified feature before Kevin Feck grabbed the lead on the second lap. Eddie Muenster quickly began to pressure Feck for the lead with Mark Weisnicht racing his way to third.
Caution slowed the field on lap six and the race struggled to get going again as multiple caution s plagued the restart. When the race went green again, Eddie Muenster was able to pass Feck to take the lead. Jason Cazarapata then moved to second on the track. The race was cut short due to time constraints with Muenster holding off a hard-charging Czarapata on the final lap for his first win of the year. Weisnicht finished third.
IMCA Stock Car
Gary Kasperek led the first two laps of the IMCA Stock Car feature before the yellow flag came out.
On the restart, Trent Nolan powered passed Kasperek for the lead while Mike Schmidt raced to second. Schmidt took the lead from Nolan on lap eight after Nolan slipped high in turn number two. Shawn Wagner followed Schmidt passed Nolan and began to pester Schmidt for the lead. A caution after lap nine bunched the field, and on the restart Brandon Czarapata snuck past Schmidt and Wagner to move into first.
Travis VanStraten took the lead on lap 13, passing both Czarapata and Wagner, eventually claiming the win. It was the fourth win of the year for VanStraten.
IMCA Sport Mod
The IMCA Sport Mod feature got off to a rough start as an incident at the start collected a number of cars. Once the track was cleared, rookie Kyle Raddant led the opening lap before Tracy Wassenberg snuck inside to take the lead. Wassenberg would hold the lead through lap six before being overtaken by Jason Jach on lap seven. Jach was able to fend off Wassenberg for the rest of the race on the way to his first win of the season. Wassenberg crossed the line in second ahead of Jordan Bartz.
Mighty Four
The Mighty Four drivers ran a clean caution free race to round out the night. Josh Slewinski led the first two laps before last week’s winner, Calvin Stueck, took over the point position. Stueck led for the duration of the race on his way to victory lane. Slewinski finished second. Lucas Hacker finished strong third.
