Our anonymous donor put up an extra $200.00 for the SixTwo Graphics WISSOTA Street Stock feature event tonight and picked a great night with a great race by the streeters again. Danny Hanson and Shaun Mann battled for the lead early with Mann taking the spot on lap two. Mike Blowers and Hanson then battled for the second spot. A caution with five down bunched up the field again and on the restart Tommy Richards blasted into the lead with Mann, Hanson and Blowers racing three wide for second. Another caution flew on lap six and Blowers lost the handle collecting him and Hanson along with Bernie Adams. Adams was unable to continue with Hanson changing a flat tire. On the restart Richards led with Mann in second. Troy Voth took advantage of the cautions to move into third. Mann started to pressure Richards for the lead on lap eight. Jim Gustafson and Kory Adams battled for fourth on lap eleven while Richards held a slight edge over Mann for the lead. As they raced to the white flag a slower car held up Richards momentum on the top side slightly into one and two and Mann used it to his advantage and flew the car into the bottom of the three and four. They crossed the line side by side with Mann winning by .017 seconds at the line. Richards, Voth, Gustafson and Nick Schwebach rounded out the top five. Heat races were won by Blowers and Schwebach.

Brauer, Bork, Tommy Richards and Brian Fetting rounded out the top five.

The Left Lane Transport USRA B-Modifieds continue with outstanding car counts with 36 cars on hand to do battle on the night.

With nine down Bleess moved past Hale for the lead. Hale put heavy pressure on Bleess for the next eight laps until a caution flew on lap sixteen. The restart was a scramble with Bleess leading. Hale in second, Fecht, Benson and Kadden Kath were battling for third when they got together allowing Dan Wheeler and Cole Queensland to move into third and fourth with Benson regaining control and holding onto fifth. Mason Daughters and Jerry Young who both started outside the top fifteen battled to get into the top five on the last two circuits. As the checkers flew it was Bleess with the win, Hale, Wheeler, Queensland and Benson rounded out the top five. The "B" Features were won by Daughters and Dustin Sorensen with Kath, Scott Demmer, Queensland and Alex Williamson winning the heat races. Also a big shout out to Miah Christenson who during an initial start caused a caution that was not caught by a race official. After the officials stated on the raceceiver that there was no call, Christenson moved to the back of the field letting the officials know who was at fault. This is what sportsmanship is all about. After pulling from Sioux Falls SD to race, take full blame for an on track incident. A big thank you to Christenson for this move and we look forward to having you race with our great racers anytime.

Mike Prochnow jumped out front in the Altenburg Construction WISSOTA Late Models at the drop of the green. Justin Sass and Adams Hensel battled briefly for second. Sass held on for second while Lance Matthees and Jordan Yaggy raced for fourth. On lap seven Yaggy took over the fourth spot and with eight down the caution flew for Yaggy with a flat tire. On the restart Prochnow jumped back out front again with Hensel taking over the second spot as Matthees and Nick Beyenhof pressured him for the spot. Hensel started to make ground up on Prochnow for the lead after lap fourteen but about lap twenty Hensel started to fade slightly allowing Prochnow to take home the win, Hensel was in second ahead of Sass, Matthees and Beyenhof as the finish. Heat races were won by Matthees and Dennis Hillson.
