Z-Man from 17th to 7th at Deer Creek

The 33z Racing team traveled to Spring Valley, Minn., Saturday to compete with the USRA Modifieds at the Deer Creek Speedway on Mother's Day Weekend. Zack started deep in the field in 17th but was able to claw his way forward for a seventh-place finish. Next weekend it's a pair of USMTS races in Minnesota as we kick off the Farm Boy BBQ Sauce Northern Region.

Deer Creek Speedway Report:

After a week of solid rain the crew was able to put together another good racetrack and with the help of the drivers room was found in the pit area for all the racers that showed even with unusable portions of the pits due to saturated grounds.

The NAPA AutoCare USRA Modifieds were up for the final feature of the night. As the feature rolled onto the track the track just about 8:30 for a nice quick show on this Mother’s Day Weekend, Jake Timm and Jacob Bleess battled hard for the first two laps until Timm took control of the race.

Joel Alberts sat in third early while Lucas Schott and Keith Foss raced for the fourth spot. With four down, Lucas Schott took over the third spot running around the bottom of the Deer Creek Speedway. Schott moved alongside of Bleess as they raced for the second spot.

With seven complete Foss moved past Alberts for the fourth spot while two laps later Brandon Davis worked past Alberts for a top five position. On lap twelve Davis moved past Foss for the fourth position. A caution on lap thirteen sat Timm with issues going into turn one with him and Schott making contact ending Timm’s night.

On the restart Schott led with Davis and Bleess racing for the second spot. Davis took over the second spot and sat to the inside rear corner of Schott looking for a mistake to get around him. Schott was consistent on his line and on lap twenty Davis made a bid for the top spot that didn’t work giving Schott some breathing room over the remaining laps.

At the checkers it was Schott with the win, Davis, Bleess, Foss and Alberts rounded out the top five. Heat races were won by Josh Angst, Bleess and Alberts.

Racing action resumes next Saturday with the annual School Bus Races raising money for the local schools along with racing action in all regular classes. Action begins at 5:00
