Shadren Turner and Kris Jackson captured front row starting honors for the 20-lap B-Mod main event. At the start of the race, promoter Earl Walls told the drivers, “It’s a drivers track, if you all run flag-to-flag, I’ll buy you two beers.”  Normally, he says he’ll buy them “a beer,” so the drivers were apparently up to the challenge. Turner looked strong from the onset, but Stephen Clancy stayed close to the leader during the race’s opening stages. At lap nine, Turner led Clancy, Colson Kirk, Tim Karrick, and Jeremy Lile. As the leaders continued their blistering pace, lapped cars came into play as Clancy challenged Turner by lap 12. The drivers were in a groove the entire race and all of them raced at the top of their game as the race went green to checkers in 6 minutes and 44 seconds! Turner took the win, his third career win at CMS and first of the year at the track. Clancy turned in a strong run to second, followed by Kirk, Karrick, and Chad Clancy in the top five.

Longtime CMS veterans Dave Meyer and Marc Carter took top starting honors for the 20-lap Super Stock main event. The super slick conditions proved challenging for the super stock drivers as several cautions slowed the field, ultimately leading to a time limit ending to the race. Early on, Meyer showed the way over a close battle for second among Marc Carter and Blaine Ewing. Devin Irvin, Ted Welschmeyer, and Aaron Poe ran strong early to advance forward behind the lead duo by lap eight. At the halfway point, Meyer narrowly led over Welschmeyer and as the pair were battling for the lead with Welschmeyer trying for the pass on the low side entering turn three, Welschmeyer got the worst end of things as his car contacted the utility tire on the low side drawing a caution and had to retire from the race. Unfortunately, Irvin was caught up in the mess and was relegated to the tail of the field for the restart. Meyer held on after a hard charge from Carter and Blaine, until these two drivers were also involved in an incident with Ewing going to the back on the restart. At lap 16, the time limit was met, and the race was cut short with Meyer collecting the win, his 39th career CMS victory. Poe advanced from tenth to second with Carter finishing a strong third, despite left front wheel damage. Michael Muskrat turned in a solid run to fourth while Rodger Detherage claimed his best finish of the year in fifth.

Bobby Russell and Spencer Reiff, the two drivers that have dominated the Pure Stock competition so far this season began the 20-lap main event from row. Russell took the early lead with Reiff, David Doelz, and Donnie Devers inside the top four. At the lap eight point, Reiff closed in on Russell for the lead, while Doelz and Braxton Lamons battled behind them. Just passed the halfway point, Reiff moved to the high side to make a pass for the lead just as the yellow flag flew to slow the field. Reiff then led Russell, Doelz, Richard Jameson, and Devers. After one more restart at lap 16, Reiff kept his machine out front and found himself in victory lane for the third time this season. Russell finished second ahead of a solid performance by Braxton Lamons in third, Devers was fourth while Doelz finished fifth.

The front row starting positions went to Dustin Dennison and last week’s winner Dakota Girard for the 20-lap Midwest Mods main event. After a pair of early race cautions, drivers settled into a solid rhythm for the remainder of the 20-lap race as Girard, Dennison, and Brian Meyer led the field around the speedway. For the final 15 laps, the Midwest Mods drivers battle for positions behind Girard, who was looking for his second CMS win of the season. Meanwhile, Meyer, Dennison, and Matthew Kay all ran strong inside the top four. Girard once again proved too strong for the rest of the field as he took his second CMS win of the year. Brian Meyer turned in his strongest performance of the season for second with Dennison in third. Kay and Logan Roark rounded out the top five at the conclusion of the race.
