MONTEVIDEO, MN (July 19) - Thirty-eight WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds came to Fiesta City Speedway for the Timmy Ims race against ALS with $3,058 going to the feature winner. A total of 103 cars were in the pits Friday night, which is the largest car count at Fiesta City Speedway this season.

WISSOTA Dirt Track Series winners included Mike Stearns, Shawn Fernkes, Brennon Weight, Kolton Brauer, and Brady Albertson.

Kolton Brauer led the entire WISSOTA Street Stock feature as he held off brother and ninth-starter Braden Brauer to win his third feature of the season. Zachary Flickinger, Mike Jans, and 10th-starter Josh Long finished in the top five.

Haley Dykhoff took the lead to begin the 30-lap WISSOTA Midwest Modified feature. Justin Froemming took over out front from Dykhoff on lap 14. Four laps later, Jake Smith took over the top spot, and went on to take the checkered flag. Smith was later disqualified during post-race inspection, which gave the win to Brennon Weight, his first win at Fiesta City Speedway. Haley Dykhoff, 12th-starter Derek Rieck, 14th-starter Nick Traynor, and 22nd-starter Mike Nichols completed the top five.

Shawn Fernkes and Travis Scott went back and forth in a fight for the lead throughout the WISSOTA Super Stock feature. Fernkes got the win over Scott for his first of the year. Bailey Rosch advanced five spots to third, Trevor Nelson was fourth, and Jacob Knapper completed the top five.

Knapper was the early leader of the WISSOTA Modified feature. Mike Stearns took the spot from Knapper on lap three and went on to his first win of the season. Ryan Flaten displaced Knapper to third before the checkered flag, while Froemming drove from seventh to fourth at the finish. Ryan Gierke was steady in fifth.

Dalton Haag took the lead to begin the WISSOTA Hornet feature. Haag hit the wall in turn one, and ended up rolling his car on lap two. Haag was okay, but his night was over. The lead then went to Adam VanDerostyne. Brady Albertson took the top spot with six laps to go, and went on to win his second feature of the year. Jerik Stabler, Bradley Rossow and 11th-starter Kole Kampsen were top-five finishers.

Tad Peterson took the lead to start the Pure Stock feature. Coltyn Schuler took over on lap four, and held on to win his ninth-straight feature of the year.
