Joey Gower, Jason Perry, Michael Long, Terry Houston, Jake Powers and Kimberly Abbott scored feature event wins during the Summy Tire and Auto Center Night at the Races on Sunday, September 11.

Woodworth settled for second followed by Matt Bailey in third, Joey Gower in fourth and Keith Pratt in fifth.

 Michael Long and Mark Burgtorf looked like they would repeat last weeks performance in the Miller LIte UMP Modified main event with the two dicing back and forth for the lead over the first twenty laps of the twenty five lap main event but Burgtorf’s ride went up in smoke on the twenty first lap giving Long the chance to finish the race uncontested for his sixth feature win in a row and his seventh in nine attempts this season. Steven DeLonjay managed to take second followed by Jared Schlipman in third, Kenny Wallace in fourth and Dave Wietholder in fifth. Burgtorf and Jake Griffin were the heat race winners.

Terry Houston laid claim to his second feature win in a row in the Triple R Performance Engines IMCA Stock Cars. The non points event was ran for no points, just cash. Andrew Griffin settled for the second spot after pressuring Houston for several laps for the lead. Aaron Brocksieck grabbed third followed by Abe Huls in fourth and Jerry Jansen in fifth.
