Mother Nature tried several times to claim the races at the Hancock County Speedway before they even got started but Speedway Officials were not scared. The little amounts of rain that came down was called "Dust Control" as the track prep team led by John Pletcher had the race track in amazing condition all night long. They went to two, three and some times four wide battling most of the night and had several close finishes in either the heats or features.
Sixty-Five cars signed in to race on Schroeder Racing Products and Doll Distributing Night. House Motorsports IMCA Sport Mods had the most with 19 cars. Quick Performance IMCA Stock Cars and MPM Marketing IMCA Hobby Stocks each had 15 cars. IMCA Modifieds had 13 cars and IMCA Sport Compacts 3 cars.
Jade Lange led from start to finish in the 6 lap IMCA Sport Compacts Feature event to take his first career win ahead of Oliver Monson and "Upside Down" Bubba Brown. Only thing slowing this race down was a caution on lap three for debris in turn two. Monson tried to make a move on the last lap but ran out of time.
In the Quick Performance IMCA Stock Cars 15 lap feature event it was Gary Pesicka wrestling the early lead from Andrew Borchardt. Borchardt tried to take the lead away before the only race caution came out on lap three for Darin Toot in turn four. Pesicka continued to hold off challenges from Borchardt and Calvin Lange on the restart, later by Chad Palmer. Pesicka went on to be the third different winner in the Stock Cars this season in Britt. Palmer finished second and will take over the points lead. Borchardt was third, Dan Mackenthun was fourth and Austin Jahnz worked his way from fifteenth to finish fifth.
Up next the House Motorsports IMCA Sport Mods 15 lap feature event saw Autum Anderson grab the early lead but a caution came out on lap two for Justin Bettin. Anderson saw George Nordman take the top spot away on the restart and he began to pull away only to have the caution come out again on lap four for Corey Klouse in turn four. Nordman got a great restart only to see the caution come out again on lap six for several cars getting together in turn two. Again after lap seven for Matthew Hanson and Kent Haugland in turn four and then again on lap 11 for Bettin again in turn four. Nordman was not going to be denied as he cruised on to the win. Colby Fett, Jason Bass, Doug Cook and Jamie Anderson rounded out the top five.
Blaine Hanson led the three laps of the MPM Marketing IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature before Scott Dobel took the top spot away. Dobel led until the only caution came out on lap eight for Jace Hanson in turn four. Dobel knew the Nielsen Brothers were coming and he quickly found that out on the restart as Cody Nielsen took the lead away on lap nine. Nielsen slipped up just enough on lap 11 to allow Dobel to take back the lead. that lead was short lived as Nielsen powered back by and went on to take the win. Dobel finished in the runner-up spot ahead of Zac Smith, tenth place starter Josh Sidles and Brandon Nielsen.
Final feature of the night was the 20 lap IMCA Modifieds feature and it would go green-to-checkered caution free. JJ Wise, the Racing Auctioneer, led the first three laps before Nick Meyer took the spot away. Jeremy Mills worked his way to the top spot on lap eight but it was Kelly Shryock looking too strong on the top side and he took the top spot away on lap ten. Shryock went on to take the win with Mills in second, Meyer in third, Wise in fourth and Cody Knecht in fifth.
