Cars were given three laps of qualifying, as they counted their “warm up” lap. Kerry Madsen (13th car out to time) set quick time on the 3/10-mile oval at 12.996 seconds. Chase Porter (2nd car out) was second quick, followed by Carson McCarl (16th), Tim Estenson (7th), Cole Mincer (15th), Skylar Prochaska (10th), Terry McCarl (1st), Riley Goodno (6th), Tyler Drueke (9th) and Tyler Peterson (19th).
Heat one (started): 1. 14T-Tim Estenson[3]; 2. 6K-Kaleb Johnson[5]; 3. 24-Terry McCarl[2]; 4. 55-Kerry Madsen[4]; 5. 80P-Jacob Peterson[1]; 6. 91-Andrew Sullivan[7]; 7. 0-Brandon Stevenson[6]
8-lap heats were inverted by four according to time, and added points to the drivers’ qualifying efforts. The top eight in combined points redrew for the Dash. T. McCarl led early over Estenson, K. Johnson, Peterson and Madsen. Estenson chased down McCarl and passed him for the lead at the halfway point. Madsen moved into the top four at the same time. K. Johnson was moving well from fifth on the low side and gained second with two to go.
Heat two (started): 1. 22-Riley Goodno[2]; 2. G5-Gage Pulkrabek[1]; 3. 2-Chase Porter[4]; 4. 10J-Justin Jacobsma[7]; 5. 17B-Ryan Bickett[5]; 6. 18-Corbin Erickson[6]; 7. (DNF) 15JR-Cole Mincer[3]
Mincer spun before a lap could be completed. Pulkrabek led early over Goodno, Bickett and Porter. Porter gained third on lap three. At the halfway point, Mincer had moved up to fifth, but spun again, ending his heat. Pulkrabek led the field back to green, but Goodno shot by him on the low side to take the lead with two to go.
Heat three (started): 1. 11M-Brendan Mullen[1]; 2. 95-Tyler Drueke[2]; 3. 27-Carson McCarl[4]; 4. 16-Skylar Prochaska[3]; 5. 4W-Matt Wasmund[7]; 6. 6W-Tyler Groenendyk[6]; 7. 67-Jonathan Hughes[5]
Mullen led the distance in a mostly single-file affair.
Dash (started): 1. 22-Riley Goodno[2]; 2. 16-Skylar Prochaska[1]; 3. 14T-Tim Estenson[5]; 4. 55-Kerry Madsen[7]; 5. 27-Carson McCarl[4]; 6. 95-Tyler Drueke[6]; 7. 24-Terry McCarl[3]; 8. 2-Chase Porter[8]
The 6-lapper determined starting positions in the first four rows of the feature. Prochaska led early, while Madsen moved from seventh up to fourth by lap two. Goodno stayed with the leader, and took the point on lap five, earning $400 for the win.
A main (started): 1. 14T-Tim Estenson[3]; 2. 95-Tyler Drueke[6]; 3. 16-Skylar Prochaska[2]; 4. 6K-Kaleb Johnson[11]; 5. 22-Riley Goodno[1]; 6. 55-Kerry Madsen[4]; 7. 11M-Brendan Mullen[9]; 8. 18-Corbin Erickson[15]; 9. 80P-Jacob Peterson[12]; 10. 10J-Justin Jacobsma[14]; 11. 2-Chase Porter[8]; 12. 6W-Tyler Groenendyk[16]; 13. 15JR-Cole Mincer[20]; 14.

(DNF) 27-Carson McCarl[5]; DNS - 4W-Matt Wasmund
The 30-lapper saw Prochaska leading Goodno, Estenson, Madsen and C. McCarl early. K. Johnson moved into the top five by lap four. On lap five, Estenson worked by Goodno for second. Johnson took fourth from Madsen on lap six. Up front, Prochaska hit traffic on lap seven. Estenson reeled him in and put a slider on the leader in turn two to take the point on lap ten. Drueke started making the bottom work, and moved by Madsen into the top five on lap 12. He took third from Goodno and second from Prochaska in the next lap and a half before there was a caution for Pulkrabek and Erickson with eleven to go. Estenson led Drueke, Prochaska, Goodno and Johnson back to green. Something broke in the rear of C. McCarl’s car on the restart at the cone, snapping him around and upside down, collecting Bickett, who went for a ride himself. Both were o.k. Estenson’s lead increased again after green, despite a final caution for debris with eight to go. Johnson passed Goodno with two to go to claim fourth. Estenson’s impressive win was the second in a row for him at this event, and earned him $7,500. Johnson was the hard-charger. Estenson earned the MSTS 410 championship as well.
305’s
One-car qualifying covering three laps took quite a while. It was definitely a unique experience for the class. Koby Werkmeister (3rd car out to time) set the standard at 13.728 seconds. Jason Danley (28th car out) was second quick, followed by Stu Snyder (18th), Nathan Weiler (10th), Cole Vanderheiden (26th), Dylan Waxdahl (12th), Jackson Weber (7th), Brandon Horton (1st), Jake Greenwood (19th) and Andrew Sullivan (4th). Madi Miller did not get a time in.
Heat one (started): 1. 15V-Cole Vanderheiden[2]; 2. 43-Jake Greenwood[3]; 3. 31-Koby Werkmeister[1]; 4. 32-Trefer Waller[5] / 5. 14T-Tyler Hendrickson[4]; 6. 88-Nate Thelen[6]; DNS - 48T-Tyler Thompson; 28-Madi Miller
Unfortunately, heats were lined straight up by time, lending little passing. The 8-lappers took the top four to the A main, and the top two to the Dash. Greenwood provided the only excitement here, passing Werkmeister on the high side for second on lap two.
Heat two (started): 1. 4X-Jason Danley[1]; 2. X-Dylan Waxdahl[2]; 3. 91-Andrew Sullivan[3]; 4. 25-Gunnar Pike[4] / 5. 9A-Hunter Hanson[6]; 6. 65X-Sawyer Grogan[5]; 7. 47-Kyra Weber[7]
Nothing to see here.
Heat three (started): 1. 5-Stuart Snyder[1]; 2. 17-Lee Goos Jr[5]; 3. 97-Jackson Weber[2]; 4. 17B-Ryan Bickett[3] / 5. 34DD-Brady Donnohue[4]; 6. 48-Cole Olson[7]; 7. 53-Joe Miller[6]
Goos provided the entertainment here, moving from fifth to a Dash spot on lap one.
Heat 4 (8 Laps): 1. 4W-Nathan Weiler[1]; 2. 9-Dominic Dobesh[3]; 3. 1B-Brandon Horton[2]; 4. 41-Jeff Wilke[6]; 5. 4SS-Brandon Halverson[4]; 6. 19-Tadd Holliman[5]; 7. 5W-Bill Wiese[7]
Dobesh passed Horton for second on lap two. Wilke was all over Halverson most of the way for the final transfer, and got him on the low side on the very last lap.
Dash (started): 1. 17-Lee Goos Jr[1]; 2. 5-Stuart Snyder[4]; 3. 43-Jake Greenwood[3]; 4. 4W-Nathan Weiler[2]; 5. 4X-Jason Danley[7]; 6. X-Dylan Waxdahl[5]; 7. 15V-Cole Vanderheiden[8]; 8. 9-Dominic Dobesh[6]
The 6-lapper determined starting spots for the first four rows of the A main. Goos led the distance for the $400 payday. Snyder shot by Weiler for second on lap three. Greenwood passed Weiler in the final corner to take third.
B main (started): 1. 14T-Tyler Hendrickson[1]; 2. 34DD-Brady Donnohue[3]; 3. 9A-Hunter Hanson[2]; 4. 65X-Sawyer Grogan[6] / 5. 48-Cole Olson[7]; 6. 28-Madi Miller[12]; 7. 53-Joe Miller[10]; 8. 4SS-Brandon Halverson[4]; 9. 5W-Bill Wiese[11]; 10. (DNF) 88-Nate Thelen[5]; 11. (DNF) 47-Kyra Weber[9]; 12. (DNF) 19-Tadd Holliman[8]; DNS - 48T-Tyler Thompson
The 10-lapper took the top four to the A main. Hendrickson led Hanson, Halverson and Donnohue early. Donnohue made early moves, passing Halverson and Hanson for third and second, respectively. Wiese tipped over five laps in, but restarted at the tail. Halverson spun while running fourth with three to go. Grogan inherited his transfer spot.
A main (started): 1. 15V-Cole Vanderheiden[7]; 2. 17-Lee Goos Jr[1]; 3. 5-Stuart Snyder[2]; 4. 31-Koby Werkmeister[9] 5. 9-Dominic Dobesh[8]; 6. 4W-Nathan Weiler[4]; 7. 1B-Brandon Horton[12]; 8. 4X-Jason Danley[5]; 9. 32-Trefer Waller[13]; 10. 43-Jake Greenwood[3]; 11. 91-Andrew Sullivan[10]; 12. 34DD-Brady Donnohue[18]; 13. 41-Jeff Wilke[16]; 14. 14T-Tyler Hendrickson[17]; 15. 17B-Ryan Bickett[15]; 16. (DNF) 97-Jackson Weber[11]; 17. (DNF) 9A-Hunter Hanson[19]; 18. (DNF) X-Dylan Waxdahl[6]; 19. (DNF) 25-Gunnar Pike[14]; 20. (DNF) 65X-Sawyer Grogan[20]
The 25-lapper saw Goos leading Snyder, Weiler, Greenwood and Waxdahl early. One lap in, Grogan flipped in turn two. He was uninjured, but done. Waxdahl passed Greenwood for fourth on lap three. A caution for both Pike and Hanson came out on lap seven. Goos led Snyder, Wieler, Waxdahl and Greenwood back to green. Vanderheiden shot from sixth to fourth on the restart, while Danley moved into fifth. Vanderheiden’s charge continued when he took third from Weiler on the low side on lap ten. Five laps later, he cruised under Snyder for the second spot. Goos was in lapped traffic on lap 17, but lost his good lead when the yellow flew for Hanson with seven to go. Werkmeister moved into the top five on the ensuing restart. With five to go, Weber flipped on the turn two wall. He was o.k. Goos led Vanderheiden, Snyder, Weiler and Werkmeister in the five-lap Dash for cash. Vanderheiden closed on Goos and passed him with three to go, leading the rest of the way for the $2,200 top prize. He was also the hard-charger.
