Wieck Wins Modified Feature!
One of the winningest drivers in the history of Lawrenceburg Speedway in a modified is Brad Wieck. Many of those wins came back when the speedway was a quarter mile bullring shaped, but he has mastered the high-banked 3/8 mile oval as well. On Saturday night, he did just that. Tim Cornett started from the pole and led the first lap before Matt Hamilton took command on lap 2. It appeared Hamilton would have no trouble picking up his second feature win of the year, but with a handful of laps remaining, something on the left front of Hamilton’s car broke. Making the car hard to control. This allowed Wieck to take the lead from Hamilton on the high side. Wieck went on to win the feature with David Spille second. Hamilton was able to hold to finish third followed by Scottie Williams and Kyle Schornick. Heat race winners were Cornett, David Jamison, and Matt Hamilton. Schornick won the B Main.

Christopher Combs Wins First Purestock Feature!
Christopher Combs had finished second to his dad Chris, on a couple different occasions but had not yet been able to put his car into victory lane. Combs had shown that he was one of the best Purestocks all night, and he showed how fast he was during the 15 lap Impact Sports Purestock Feature. Series champ, Joel Andrews led the first 3 laps before spinning out as the caution flag came out forcing him to restart at the tail. James Ackman came in as the series point leader and looked to be on his way to picking up his first career feature win, but Christopher Combs had something to say about that! Combs was using the high side to keep his momentum wound up and allow him to get massive runs off the turns. This eventually would payoff for Combs who took the lead on lap 12 and led the final 3 laps on his way to the victory. Dylan Chase finished second followed by Danny Eichler, Joel Andrews, and Will Hayes. Heat race winners were Andrews, and Chase.
