The fans saw some hot action on a humid night Sunday at Raceway Park. Mark Wenzlaff scored his second straight win in the Yankton Automotive Machine Street Stock division with a last lap, last turn pass around the outside of leader Kent Husted. Husted had taken the point early in the race with Wenzlaff on his tail as they pulled away from the field. Wenzlaff took Husted by surprise on the final lap, moving to the rough outside line and bounced ahead out of the final turn. Behind the leaders, Max Hoffer and Doug Fontenot rounded out the top four.
The Outlaw A-Mod feature saw a handfull of drivers taste the lead, but the eventual win went to Mike Hansen, who shot past Chris Abelson and Jay Noteboom on the front stretch with a couple of laps remaining. Hansen kept control to the checkers with Noteboom finishing second, followed by Matt Bonine and Abelson.
Chris Weatherton took his first win in the Ultra-Lite Performance B-Mods with a strong run through most of the field. Jeremie Gibbs got the lead early from polesitter Luke Zweifel and held the spot until Weatherton made his move for the lead in the late laps. Behind Weatherton and Gibbs the top four were filled out by Les Lundquist and last weeks winner Dave Hanson.
Jake Walding dominated the B&B Salvage Hobby Stocks for his second win of the year. While Walding had control out front, the battle in the pack continued to the end with Karl Brewer taking second in front of Andy Hoffman and Tony Fetterman.
In four cylinder action, Tim McPeek took his first win in the Steve's Roofing/Adam's Tree Service Hornets. McPeek led most of the race with Zach Ankrum as his closest chaser. Behind McPeek and Ankrum, Brady VanBuskirk took third over Dan Loggins.
Bob Hutcheson took his second win of the season in the J&J Fabrication Pro Hornets. Hutcheson led most of the race, while Danny Watterson, Jeff Girard, and John Leff rounded out the top four.
Action continues this Sunday at 6:30 at Raceway Park.
