Keith Foss took off like a rocket from his front row starting spot in the Altenburg Construction WISSOTA Late Model feature with Nick Herrick in second.  Jesse Redetzke ran low and pulled alongside of Herrick for second as a caution flew.  On the restart Redetzke took over second as Herrick and Lance Matthees raced for third.  Matthees took the spot and moved past Redetzke for third.  With twenty to go Jake Hartung raced Herrick for fourth and completed the pass four laps later.  Justin sass moved past Herrick to take over fifth as the caution flew again.  Hartung put pressure on Matthees for second on the restart as Redetzke slowed quickly and into the infield.  Foss cruised to the win with Matthees in second, Hartung in third.  Justin Sass and Mike Prochnow rounded out the top five.  Redetzke and Foss won heat races early in the night.

 

In the EZ Fabricating USRA Modified feature Nate Wasmund jumped out to the early lead with Ryan York and Brad Waits racing for second.  Steve Wetzstein sat in third waiting for his move.  A caution flew on lap three and after two failed restarts the action resumed.  Waits immediately put pressure on Wasmund up front and took the lead two laps later while Wetzstein moved up to race with Wasmund for second.  Wetzstein took second while Layne Meyer and Mick Glenn raced side by side for fifth.  Another caution bunched the field back up with seventeen to go, Waits led Meyer, York and Cummins were three wide for fourth with Cummins taking control a couple laps later.  With fourteen to go Cummins moved into third.  The top five held line for the remaining ten laps with Waits taking home the win followed by Wetzstein and Cummins.  Heat races were won by Wetzstein, York and Tom Paulson.

Ric Fynbo led out of two on the start of the Dirt Doctor Trucking WISSOTA Midwest Modified feature with Albert Wytaske and Carter Brandt side by side for second.  Wytaske took control of second while Bryan Hernandez quickly moved into third.  With two laps completed Fynbo pushed up in four allowing Wytaske to take the lead and Hernandez into second.  Two laps later Hernandez moved under Wytaske to take the lead.  With twelve to go Troy Brand moved past Fynbo for third as a caution flew.  On the restart Dustin Scott found a line on the bottom and moved up from seventh to the second spot following Hernandez around the speedway.  Brandon Davis moved past Brand for the fourth spot with eight to go as he started working forward.  On the next lap Davis moved past Wytaske to take over the third as he looked to work on Scott for second.  While they battle for second AJ Wiste raced Wytaske for the fifth spot.  A restart with four to go saw Scott working Hernandez on the low side while Davis took to the high line to try and get around the lead duo.  With two to go Davis was credited with second and got alongside of Hernandez out of four as they powered under the white flag.  As they came to the checker Hernandez and Davis were in an almost dead heat with Hernandez taking the win by less than a foot, Davis second and Scott third.  Heat race winners were Brand, Jared Boumeester and Jerry Young

Earlier in the day on the Button Buck Speedway Nathan Bunne led wire to wire in the Junior division of the Pepsi slingshots followed by Jace Bunne and Dustin Sorensen.  Jace and Nathan each won heat race action. In the Pee-Wee division of the slingshots Jackson Hale took home the win.  Lucas Schott took home the win in the Regular Division of the Pepsi Slingshots leading wire to wire after early pressure from Cody Gardner.  Nathan Bunne methodically worked his way through the field to take home second with Jace Bunne and Dustin Sorensen following him closely across the line.
