By Ron Krog

WILLMAR, MN (July 23) - It was a special night at KRA Speedway as Kids' Night brought plenty of prizes and giveaways for the young fans, and the racers delivered an exciting seven-division program.

WISSOTA Dirt Track Series feature winners included Brian Haben (Modifieds), Dustin Holtquist (Mod Fours), Dexton Koch (Super Stocks), Landyn Randt (Midwest Modifieds), and Justin Vogel (Street Stocks).

The WISSOTA Street Stocks opened the feature program and Vogel took advantage of starting on the pole position. Landyn Randt stayed within striking distance throughout the race after moving into second, while Ethan Iiams won a spirited battle with Derek Zeske for third. Joe Martin recovered from an early spin and restart at the back of the field to charge back to fourth. Vogel captured the win ahead of Randt, Iiams, Martin and Zieske in the top five.

In the WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, Justin Bjorklund led the early laps before Landyn Randt showed why he has been one of the hottest drivers of the season. Randt moved into second, caught Bjorklund with 12 laps remaining, and drove away for his 12th victory of the year. Chance Kodet made a late pass on Jason Vejtraba to finish third behind Bjorklund. Zach Clark was fifth.

The WISSOTA Mod Four main event featured an early duel between Rapid City drivers Adam Newmiller and Devin Wolter before Wolter took command. Tyler Larson made an impressive charge from ninth into contention, but Dustin Holtquist proved to have the fastest car, catching and passing Wolter in the closing laps to earn the victory. Larson finished second, with Wolter settling for third. Dean Larson and Dexyn Habraken filled out the top five.

The WISSOTA Super Stocks produced another outstanding race. Dexton Koch won an early battle with Zach Schultz for the lead and never looked back. Karter Reents worked past Schultz for second, while Andrew Hedke advanced from eighth to fourth. Colsten Schultz rounded out the top five at the finish.

Brian Haben took the lead from John Olmscheid in the WISSOTA Modifieds and built a comfortable advantage. Tyler Kaeter impressed with a runner-up finish, while Don Eischens battled into third before spinning after clipping a tractor tire. Olmscheid ultimately completed the podium behind Haben and Kaeter. Matt Fester was fourth.

The Pure Stock feature ended with another exciting finish as Mason Fester made a last-lap pass to collect the victory, much to the delight of his fans.

The Hornet feature also came down to the final lap, with Braxton Schmitz edging Lincoln Miller for the win. Miller was second while Aiden Muchow completed the top three. The Never Alone Racing team brought six cars to the speedway, adding strong competition throughout the division.
