of the two-night affair. National Championships were being chased for the USRA B-Mods with the top three contenders in attendance. The WISSOTA Super

As Krause went pitside, Gilbertson was challenged by Yohnk, and Bushman and Scott raced side by side for third place. Kyle Jumbeck made a fast climb into fourth place which dropped Bushman to fifth. Yohnk took the lead over Gilbertson as Scott closed in on the second spot. The top four spots of Yohnk, Gilbertson, Scott, and Jumbeck had their own race going a distance ahead of the rest of the field as Creeley took fifth place from Bushman. Jumbeck dove low under Scott and eventually took second place from Gilbertson. Yohnk kept a steady grip on the lead followed by Jumbeck and Gilbertson. Jumbeck finally made the pass on Yohnk and never looked back. For his sixth win on the season, Jumbeck lead Yohnk, Gilbertson, Scott, and Creeley across the finish line.
