A very windy but sunny Saturday afternoon at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway saw exciting action in 4 classes including mini stock, thunder, street and pro truck divisions. After time trials to determine starting position, the mini stocks hit the track for heat 1.
The 20 of Audra Cooper started pole while the 15 of Dawson Redekopp was outside pole. Dawson Redekopp takes the early lead up until lap 5 when the 02 of David Wilson spins in corner 4 bringing out the caution. On the restart, the 41 of Jamie Tatyrn gets a good jump and holds on to win heat 1.
Thunder stocks then hit the track for heat 1 with 76 of Logan Derksen on pole flanked by 17 of Curtis Moore. A caution free heat 1 saw a fantastic fight for for second for many laps between the 66 of Brent Dupuis and the 81 of Barry Stefanuk. The winner of heat 1 is the 18 machine of Mike Rea with 66, Brent Dupuis second and 81, Barry Stefanuik third.
The street stocks then hit the track for heat 1 and saw a few spins as a result of green tires and a green track. The winner of the 14 car street stock heat 1 field is 88, Brad Wrennick followed by 44, Craig Katelnikoff and 34, Mike Schroeder third.
Pro truck heat 1 started with the 19 machine of Rylan Utigard pole and 49 of Shantel Firth outside pole. Shatel would take the early lead and not relinquish becoming the eventual winner followed closely by the 50 of Ben Pogoda and the 01 of Alex Leschenko.
Mini heat 2 saw the 95 of Clay Wagner taking the lead on lap 4 and holding on for the win followed closely by the 7 of Darnell Schick and the 42 of Landry Boisvert.
Thunder heat 2 did not look good for the 42 machine with shared driving duties between Kelsey and Nicole Sheetka. With 3 laps remaining, a spin, probably a result of oil coming from their car brings them into the pits with what looked like major engine trouble. The 81 car of Barry Stefaniuk would take the win of heat 2.
A few cautions made street heat 2 very interesting as well as trouble for the winner of heat 1, Brad Wrennick as he brings his car early into the pits. Craig Katelnikoff would win heat 2 convincingly with the 28 of Brennan Forseille second.
Pro truck heat 2 was very fast and caution free. A good race right up until the finish saw the 27 of Scott Lucas take the checkered with the 01 of Alex Leschenko second and the 18 of Bill Zubrecki third.
The feature races started with the minis with the 02 of David Wilson pole and 20 of Audra Cooper outside pole. The 98 of Tom and Kaylee Smith makes an early entrance into the pits on lap 4 with trouble. A hard fought race saw the 42 of Landry Boisvert your winner with the 7 of Darnell Schick second, 10 of Kevin Dyck third, 1 of Scott Barrand fourth and 14 of Zachery Jalbert fifth.
The thunder stocks then hit the track for their 25 lap feature. The 76 of Logan Derksen starts pole with 17 of Curtis Moore outside pole. All 25 laps were relatively trouble free with the winner being the 81 of Barry Stefaniuk, 18 of Mike Rea second, 66 of Brent Dupuis third, 7 of Floyd Ransom fourth and 22 of Ryan Fredrickson taking fifth.
A 50 lap street stock feature started good but saw some trouble starting on lap 9 when the 36 of Daryl Potts spins bringing out the caution. Caution comes out again on lap 10 for 17 of Jordan Dalsgaard. The 44 of Craig Katelnikoff leads the majority of the race until lap 35 when his car begins smoking, possbly a result of contact and a wheel rub. The 19 of Aaron Anderson is able to pass and take the win and 44, Katelnikoff hlding on for second. Rounding out the top 5 were the 88 of Brad Wrennick, 28 Brennan Forseille and 62 of Kenny Heintz.
The pro trucks saw a 40 lap feature race down a number of trucks due to mechanical troubles in the heats. Early caution as the 14 of Wade Wohlford goes backward into the outside wall in corner 4 after contact with 8 of Andy Clewes. On lap 11, the 01 of Alex Leschenko comes in smoking badly as a result of a blown radiator hose. On lap 25, the 27 of Scott Lucas would take the lead and hold on for the win followed by the 50 of Ben Pogoda, 49, Shantel Firth third, 18, Bill Zubrecki fourth and 93, Neil Schneider fifth.
