Through a marathon 16-Hour event which started at Noon on Saturday September 10th, comprised of both Friday's & Saturday's programs, Ryan Gustin and Mike Truscott became Big-Dollar winners of the "5th Annual Dahl Chevrolet, Buick, GMC Modified Nationals, Million-Dollar Weekend"!

Ryan Gustin battled the best of the best, including a hard challenge from Scott Bloomquist that produced a photo finish as the checkered flag was flying, to collect the largest high-dollar win of his already stellar career - banking $40,000 for the win.

In the B-Mod Division, Michael Truscott fended off a hard charge by MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY regular Jon Van Minsel to collect the largest pay of his career - $20,000!

It's been no secret that MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY and Mother Nature have had a bit of a 'falling out' over the 2016 season. Seven (7) rain-outs coming into the final points-paying evening of the regular season . . . and as the features were lining up to complete Minnesota State Colleges Southeast night, it looked as if another spoiler was on it's way.
