Steve Laursen made a return visit to the Proctor Speedway Sunday night and drew the pole position for the 20 lap main event. Laursen took the lead at the green flag with outside pole sitter Darrell Nelson falling into second ahead of Bob Broking, Harry Hanson and John Massingill. Laursen could manage no more than a three car length lead but Hanson found a lot of traction at the top of the track, flew by Nelson and Laursen down the straight and made it stick through three and four taking the lead down the front stretch. Nelson took second away from Laursen at this point. The first of three caution flags flew for Tim McMann who spun off turn  two and limped into the pits with mechanical problems. 

At the start Hanson maintained the lead with Nelson, Laursen, Jeff Broking and Bob Broking trailing. Massingill got a run on Bob Broking and took fifth and caution flag number two appeared when Travis Budislavovich ran out of room at the top of turns three and four and spun backwards off the track.  

At the green flag the third caution flag flew quickly after Nick Musel got turned around just about half way through. While under the caution flag Laursen pulled off the track with reported overheating. Hanson maintained the lead to the checkered flag winning his third feature at the speedway this season. Nelson, Jeff Broking, Joel Cryderman and Danny Young in the top five. 

The Modified feature didn't make the first lap before there was trouble for Zach Wohlers in the first turn. The car showed a flat right rear and left the speedway on the hook. The rest of the 15 lap event went to the checkered flag without another slowdown which left plenty of time for racing. Paul Schultz started from the pole and led all 15 circuits for the win. Jason Miller was in the hunt early but faded from contention as Darrell Nelson moved up to second from fifth and Al Uotinen made a charge from 12th to third. While outside pole sitter, John Reini, was fourth and Duane Dale came from 11th to finish fifth. 

WISSOTA National point leader Ryan Aho redrawing the pole position one would think that it would have been a runaway but this was not the case as 19 year old Kyle Peterlin stayed right with Aho to the checkered flag. Two caution flags spoiled the event, the first with only one of 15 laps recorded when Rick Simpson found himself facing the wrong way in turn one. 

At the start Peterlin got the jump and took the point, but shortly thereafter a tangle between Jay Kuras and Dave Flynn in turn three/four again slowed the action. At the green flag Aho and Peterlin resumed their battle while Scott Lawrence and Eric Nelson had their own skirmish a couple of car lengths back for third place and were soon joined by a very quick Destin Lorimor.

At he half way point it was still too close to call for the lead while Lawrence had gotten by Nelson into third with Mike Bellefeuille making his presence felt behind Nelson in fifth. Aho finally slipped past Peterlin for the lead and took the win. Peterlin, Lawrence, Nelson and Bellefeuille finished in the top five. 

Greg Chesley had them covered in the 15 lap Midwest Modified feature leading front row mate Riley Matthews across the line with only one caution flag for a Willy Thompson spin in turn one in the early going. Nick Lavato put on a charge from 10th to third getting past Monty Hall in the late going while Darren Brown moved from 12th to round out the top five. 

Leave it to the Pure stocks to show them how it is done as they ran their 15 lap feature with nary a caution flag. Jim McClellan was the hare to the hounds in the early going over pole sitter Tom Morinville while further back there was some three wide racing for fifth. There was even an attempt to go four wide off turn two and they actually made it without incident. Racing quickly forward from seventh was Rob Monahan into the third spot while Jon McKinnon was running fourth. As the white flag flew with Morinville back in the lead, McKinnon tried a strong move in turn three but bounced up the track in front of Monahan and fifth running Al Rapp. 

While everyone was attempting to gather their cars up Jason Rockwell shot through on the bottom to grab third. Morinville won his first of the season at the speedway ahead of Monahan, Rockwell, McKinnon and Rapp. McClellan ended up in sixth place. 

Justin Jones bested Riley Matthews in the Midwest Modified makeup feature with Darren Brown  finishing third. Rick Simpson won the Super Stock makeup feature over Scott Lawrence with Mike Bellefeuille, Jay Kuras and Ryan Aho in the top five.
