Indee was starting early this week to be done for the city fireworks and for the most part it was a great night of racing. One feature got put in "time out" as i would say because they were struggling to get a lap in more on that in a bit. 112 cars signed to race the Buchanan County Fairgrounds oval.
First feature of the night was Burco Sales IMCA Stock Cars 15 lap feature event. Colt Mather started on the pole and he took advantage by taking the lead early. Mather saw the caution come out on lap two for Scott Hampton in turn two but Mather was not going to let that bother him. The final race caution came out on lap eight for Jarod Weepie and Jason Hocken getting together in turn three. Mather held off challenges from Phil Holtz and Chris Luloff to take the win. Holtz was second, Justin Temeyer took third away from Luloff and Norman Chesmore was fifth.
Dawn Krall led the opening lap of the Tenacity Graphics IMCA SportMods 15 lapper but Kevin Hurst grabbed the lead away on lap two just before the first race caution that resulted in a pile up in turn four. Hurst continued to lead but saw the caution come out on lap six for Nate Smith in turn four. Hurst pulled away and appeared to be heading on to the win but with three laps to go, Hurst spun in turn four all by himself giving the lead over to the "Montour King" Ryan King. King held off challenges from Lucas Lundry, Dakoda Sellers and a hard charging Tony Olson to take the win. Lundry took second, Olson was third, Sellers was fourth and Kevin Robinson was fifth.
Next out on to the track was the Big Daddy Chassis IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature event but they struggled to get a single lap completed so after four cautions before lap was completed the call was made by track promoter Dana Benning to park the hobbys in the infield. They would be placed as the final feature before the RCZ Indee Cars.
Budweiser IMCA Late Models 25 lap feature was up next on to the speedway and it was Scotty Welsh taking the early lead but Jon Passick took the top spot away on lap three. Passick looked to be heading on to take the win but a caution came out on lap 21 for Welsh in turn two. Passick now saw Ryan Dolan and John Emerson right there. Passick held on until the final turn as Dolan took the win away from Passick. Travis Smock came home in third, Andy Nezworski was fourth and Tyler Droste was fifth.
Ryan Maitland led the first three laps of the Performance Bodies IMCA Modifieds feature before the caution came out first for Josh Sherbon in turn four. Maitland spun on the restart in turn two that handed the lead over to Jason Morehouse. Morehouse lost the lead to Tony Snyder. Snyder saw Brian Irvine take the lead away on lap six. Irvine went on to take the win over Snyder, Zach Less, Troy Cordes and JD Auringer.
The Hobby Stocks then went back to the race track to complete their feature and it was Jeremiah Wilson grabbing the lead but the caution came again just after two laps was completed for Mike Wilson in turn four. Wilson continued to lead the way but then a pair of cautions on lap 14, 1st for Jim Ball in turn three and then on the restart for Wilson going off the top of turn one. That gave the lead to Shawn Kuennen and Kuennen held on for the win ahead of Justin Lichty, Billy Rhoades, Benji Irvine and Rod Grother.
Final race of the night was the RCZ Indee Cars and it was Tristan Cordes leading from start-to-finish in the 12 lapper. Buster Pate, Jeff Davis, Don Erger and Jason Hard.
