It was Koehler’s fifth career Midwest Modified feature win at Rice Lake. Cimfl settled for third, ahead of Jake Stai and Cory Jorgensen.

The closest feature finish was yet to come. Twenty-six Super Stocks took the green flag. Former area driver Shane Kisling, driving the Larson 2 4/7 car, took the early lead over Eric Olson. Curt Myers started third and wasted no time challenging the top duo, and was soon all over Kisling for the lead. Myers moved up the track and found success, driving past Kisling to take over the lead during lap six.

Myers was not in the clear, however, as sixth-starter Matt Deragon began to challenge the leader; two laps later he ducked under Myers to take over the top spot. Myers was not done yet, however, and he fired back, pushing even harder in the middle groove of the track. Two laps later he regained the lead, just as the field reached the halfway point of the contest.

Tenth-starter Terran Spacek had worked his way up to third ahead at this point, ahead of Dalton Truchon and Kisling, who was struggling to keep up.

Myers continued to lead as Spacek challenged Deragon for second. A late yellow for a spin set up a two-lap sprint to the finish. Spacek drove ahead of Deragon for second on the green, and this set up another in the series of battles for Super Stock mastery here between Myers and Spacek in recent years.

They went at it again and on the final corner as Myers slipped just a bit high, Spacek made an all-out rush for the inside to try and slip past. They crossed the line so close it needed the electronic timing and scoring to determine the winner, and it was Myers by the slim .029 second edge over Spacek. Deragon finished third with 19th-starter Shawn McFadden fourth and Olson completing the top five. The win was the 55th Super Stock feature win of Myers’ successful career at Rice Lake, as he closes in on Don Drew's all-time record for the division.

The Street Stock feature was the only nonstop main event of the night and Nick Traynor scored an impressive win to open up the Street Stock season at Rice Lake. He started on the inside of the second row but with an opening lap rush, he managed to pass both Caiden Engel and Tom Treviranus before the first lap was scored to take the lead. Once he got to the front he quickly put distance on the field and with no yellow flags to bunch the pack, he was gone. A good battle for second developed though, with Cody Cimfl moving into the second place by the halfway point of the event. Both Andrew Hanson and Sam Fankhauser were on the move, charging from deeper in the pack toward the front.

Out front, Traynor continued to hold a comfortable lead over the field. He drove on for the win, his eighth overall Street Stock win at Rice Lake. Hanson completed his charge as he was able to get past Cimfl for second in the late going. Travis Loew was in the top five the whole race, finishing fourth ahead of Fankhauser.

May 3 the first special event of the 2025 racing season will be held. The first of five appearances of the USRA Late Models will see that division in action along with the normal five class program of WISSOTA auto racing. It is also only two weeks until the Springtime Mod Spectacular, presented by Henry Repeating Arms. Check out the website at www.ricelakespeedway.net for more information.
