Doar, Jensen, Aho and Kesty
Claim Superior Hall of Fame Event
Hanestad Hammers Home Street Stock Feature Victory

             The annual Hall of Fame race night saw a lightning fast 3/8 mile race track, which produced some of the best racing of the season and saw Pat Doar top the DTRA Late Models for his third Superior Speedway feature win of the season. Joey Jensen edged Darrell Nelson in a photo finish to win his second DTRA Modified event at the track, while Ryan Aho raced to his 7^th Super Stock victory at the track. Ron Hanestad raced to his first feature win at the track this season in the Street Stock division and Rick Kesty became the first repeat Pure Stock feature winner of the season in Superior.

            First time visitor Ron Hanestad jumped from the pole to the lead of the Street Stock feature and never looked back in the 15-lapper. Hanestad had to contend with 7 time feature winner Butch Madsen over the last few circuits of the event, but Hanestad was up to the challenge and raced to the DTRA win ahead of Madsen, Mike Kalkbrenner, Scott Herrick and Mark Froelich at the line.

            Ryan Aho redrew the pole and withstood a few caution periods to race to his 7^th win at the speedway this season. Aho ran away from a great battle for second between J B Stortz and Ryan Rivord early on and then withstood a charge from 7^th starting Mike Bellefeuille to pick up the win. Bellefeuille raced to his second second-place finish of the week ahead of Rivord, Mike Loomis and Scott Lawrence in the top five.

            Joey Jensen took off from the pole and stretched his advantage in the Modified main event early on, but a lap 11 caution flag bunched up the field, and set up a thrilling second half of the event. Darrell Nelson and Kelly Estey moved into a great battle for second, while Jensen contined to lead. Once Nelson cleared Estey, he pulled alongside Jensen for the lead and the duo circled the high banks side by side for the final 7 laps, thrilling the fans with each lap. Jensen got the run he needed off turn four on the final lap and edged Nelson for the win in an awesome photo finish. Estey, Jason Miller and Don Copp raced to the top five.

            Pat Doar and Terry Casey sat on the front row of the DTRA Late Model main event and the duo, along with Eric Breeschoten raced three-wide for the lead on the opening lap. Doar took off into the lead, but Breeschoten and Casey followed closely behind. Once again the lead trio ran three-wide out of turn four for the lead on lap 7 and continued their fierce battle for the top spot until lap 12, when Doar assumed command and drove off into the night. Breeschoten gave Doar all he could handle on the restart after a lap 20 caution, but Doar then drove off for his third win of the season at the track. Breeschoten held off Darrell Nelson, Brent Larson and Todd Gehl for second.

            Andrew Jarvi took off into the lead at the start of the Pure Stock feature with Rick Kesty and Glenn Dammer battling for second on lap 2. Kesty slid to the inside of Jarvi after a lap three red flag for Dan Doran getting upside down. Once out front Kesty took off and raced to his second feature win of the season in Superior. Dammer ran second ahead of Al Rapp, Dan Larsen and 23^rd starting Steve Christman after a great charge through traffic.
