Cedar Lake Speedway hosted their annual Firecracker Special on Saturday June, 29th. Fans were treated to a 4 division show featuring the Hornets, Pro Stocks, Modifieds and Late Models, followed by the world famous Cedar Lake Speedway Fireworks display.

 

The Hornet division was first up for main event action with Jerry Hanson and Brent Voeltz pacing the field to the start. Voeltz would jump to the early lead with Buddy Hanestad moving into second position. On lap two Barret Hammond would take over the second position and start to close in Voeltz. The leaders started to encounter lapped traffic on lap three, allowing Hammond to gain more ground. The leaders would continue to work their way through traffic, but Voeltz was able to hold on for the win. Hammond would end up second with Chris Dyke, Hanestad and Kris Kaphing rounding out the top five. Hornet heat race wins went to Hanestad and Hammond.

 

Next up would be the main event for the Pro Stocks. Ben Hanke and Rich Bishop would lead the field to the start. A seven car melee at the flag stand caused a complete restart once the cleanup was finished. Hanke would take the lead on the restart with Tim Borgeson moving into second. Hanke and Borgeson thrilled the fans with a side-by-side battle for the lead for numerous laps. Mike Loomis would move into third on lap 5, while Hanke and Borgeson continued their back and forth battle for the lead. The caution flew once again on lap 6. Borgeson was now in command for the Delaware double file restart. Hanke would battle back and reassume the lead. Loomis moved into second on lap 11 and started his challenge of Hanke. Hanke and Loomis would then take turns leading, with Hanke eventually gaining the advantage. Approaching the white flag, Hanke spun out of the lead and moved to the rear of the field. Loomis would take the lead on for the green-white-checker finish, capturing his fourth CLS Pro Stock main event win of the year. Pro Stock heat race winners were Bishop, Borgeson and Loomis.

 

The Modified main event started with Jeremy Nelson and Shawn Kelley starting on the front row. Nelson grabbed the early advantage with Ashley Anderson moving into second on lap 2. Anderson would move inside of Nelson on lap three to take the lead. As the race went on, Darrell Nelson made his way to third place as the leaders started to approach lapped traffic on lap 13. A late race charge by Andy Jones saw the Princeton, Minn. driver move from his seventh place starting position to second place by lap 17. Jones would run out of time as the race went green to checkers with Anderson getting his first career Modified win at Cedar Lake. Jones would hold on for second, Darrel Nelson would finish third, Jeremy Nelson fourth and Jason Miller rounding out the top five. Jones and Darrell Nelson would pick up the heat race wins.

 

The final main event of the evening saw the Late Models line up with Mike Nutzmann and AJ Diemel leading the field to the start. Diemel would take the early lead, with Brent Larson moving into second place. On lap 5 the lone caution of the Late Model main flew when Ryan Johnson made contact with the wall between turns 1 and 2. Diemel would lead the field on the restart with Nutzmann, Larson and Darrell Nelson battling for second. Larson would break away from the pack, and begin his move towards the front. Diemel and Larson would approach lapped traffic on lap 20. Larson would pull along side Diemel and the two would go side-by-side for the lead for several laps. Larson was able to eventually clear Diemel and pull away for the win. The final rundown had Larson across the line first at the checkers followed by Diemel, Chad Mahder, Rick Hanestad and Darrell Nelson. Late Model heat race winners were Larson and Greg Nippoldt.

 

Next up at Cedar Lake Speedway features the 5th Annual Night of Destruction with Monster Trucks and other stunts. Additional information can be found on our website at www.cedarlakespeedway.com
