Mother Nature made the Hancock County Speedway wait one week to get the MaxYield Seed Northern Sport Mod Nationals in but the racing action did not disappoint everybody in attendance or everybody watching online on IMCATV. The Night was also sponsored by Croplan by Winfield, DeKalb Asgrow, Latham Hi-Tech Seeds and LG Seeds in partenship with MaxYield Cooperative.
One Hundred and three cars checked including 48 IMCA Northern Sport Mods. Eighteen MPM Marketing IMCA Hobby Stocks, Eighteen IMCA Modifieds and Nineteen Quick Performance IMCA Stock Cars was also on hand. Kelly Shryock and Johnathon Logue dominated in their feature wins meanwhile Drew Barglof and Austin Wolf used a late race pass to take the checkers first.
First feature of the night was the Quick Performance 15 lap feature event, Parker Slagle and Kelly Shryock led the field to the green flag. Shryock jumped out to the lead early however third row starters Derek Green and Randy Brands worked their way up and began to battle with Shryock for the race lead just before the caution came out on lap seven when Wayne Landheer spun in turn four. Shryock held off Green and Brands until the caution came out again on lap eleven. Shryock was not going to be denied his third win of the season in the Stock Cars at the Hancock County Speedway as he held off Green for the win. Green finished second, Heath Tulp wrestled third away from Brands. Brands and Kevin Opheim finished fourth and fifth respectively. Jake Masters, Tulp and Green won the heat races.
In the MPM Marketing IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature event, a pair of cautions came out before one lap was scored in the books. First caution was for James Burns in turn two and then again on the initial restart for Jace Hanson in turn four. Malik Sampson jumped out to the race lead when the race was final able to get underway but the caution came out again on lap three for Burns in turn two. Sampson looked to be heading on to the win until Cody Nielsen and Drew Barglof chase him down and began to make it a three car battle for the lead. Sampson and Nielsen made contact allowing Barglof to edged ahead on the lap 12. Nielsen nosed ahead of Barglof and Sampson coming to the white flag. They exited turn four three wide as they crossed the start finish line with Barglof winning by a nose at the line. Sampson finished a close second and Nielsen was a close third. Justin Luinenburg and twelveth place starter Brandon Nielsen was fourth and fifth. Cody Nielsen, Luinenberg and Barglof took the heat race wins.
Caution flag came out before a lap scored in the IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature event when Lyle Sathoff, Josh Ruby and Jason Asbe got together in turn two. Ben Schultze grabbed the early race lead but the caution came out again on lap two for Cody Knecht in turn four. Schultze had racing veterans Kelly Shryock and Al Hejna on his back bumper on the restart. Shryock grabbed the top spot away and appeared to be heading on to double up but ninth place starter Austin Wolf made his way up to chase down Shryock. Shryock left the door open and Wolf took advantage to grab the lead away exiting turn four on lap 17. Wolf pulled away and cruised on to take the win. Wolf said in victory lane, "Kelly Shryock probably has more starts then days i've been alive." Shryock was second, Hejna was third, tenth place starter Jeremy Mills was fourth and Schultze fell back to fifth.
Final feature of the night was the headliner, 30 lap MaxYield SEED Northern Sport Mod Nationals feature event for the House Motorsports Sport Mods. Nate Whitehurst wrestled the lead away early from Johnathon Logue but the caution came out on lap two when Matthew Looft came to a stop in turn two because his hood came up blocking his view. Whitehurst continued to lead until Logue grabbed the top spot away on lap six. Logue began to pull away only to see the caution come out on lap ten for Hays, Kansas Dakota Sproul sitting on the bottom side of turn four. Logue began to pull away was never really challenged despite Brayton Carter and ninth place starter Jared Boumeester chasing him down. Logue went on to take his second win of the season in Britt and his second Northern Sport Mod Nationals feature win, only the second driver to win multiple times, last time Logue won was in 2016. Carter, Boumeester, Jake McBirnie and Jim Chisholm round out the top five. Doug Cook, McBirnie, Sproul, Logue, Carter and Whitehurst took heat race wins.
