Photo Highlights

Tony and Mike were bumping and grinding in the race for the checkered flag. Tony lead all twenty-five laps to come up with the win over Mike Belling who took second, last weeks winner Kevin Nuttleman who took third, Mark Lamoreaux in the fourth position, and to round off the top five with a win over Kurt Thicke.

Cautions were a problem Saturday night with four out of the ten cautions coming during the Late Models feature. That included a five car crash with only three laps to go. Nobody was hurt during the crash but it took some time to clean up the track.

Adam Degenhardt of Coon Valley took the True Value 15 in the Ray Hutson Chevrolet Sportsman feature. The Sportsman feature was also littered with cautions counting three before Adam took the checkered flag. Adam took the lead after race leader Tony Ciano hit the wall coming out of turn four with nine laps to go bringing up the third caution of the night. Adam took the win over Rick Steinhoff who took second, the youngster Sam Anderson who took third, Jimmy Gilster who took fourth, and Aaron Hass with fifth.

In the United Auto Supply Thunderstock feature Ron Heller of Onalaska took the checkered flag after coming after multiple crashes that produced two caution flags. Ben Allen lead the race up until then while leading the pack for nine laps. In the LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway's Queen Bees race, Nicole Pralle took the checkered flag in the first ever running of the Queen Bees.
