Oreskovich gets First career Sport Mod Feature Win.

Halloween came early at the Speedway as Halloween on the Half Mile made it’s return on Saturday night. Kids donned their costumes and prizes were awarded to the some of the best. While kids waited to go Trick or Treating in the pits after the races, drivers were hoping for more treats than tricks on the track. Finding a treat, in the form of a Feature win, in their bag would be Kevin Feck, Travis Van Straten, Ron Berna, Max Oreskovich and Lucas Hacker. 

Kevin Feck led the entire Modified feature event with an impressive run. Feck would dominate most of the event but caution flags would provide a little drama throughout the event. Late in the race Marcus Yarie and Jordan Bartz joined Feck for an intense battle. The three drivers fought it out with Bartz and Yarieswapping the runner up spot lap after lap. Bartz would drive hard into three and four on the last lap making it three wide for the lead. Bartz would slide up the track and for a moment it looked like she would collect Feck and end both their nights. But, amazing car control by all the drivers provided a fantastic finish with Feck leading Bartz and Yarie across the line. 

The IMCA Stock cars had Darren Otto jump out to the top spot in the early going of the Feature event. Tom Riehl would provide the early competition before fading to the 7th spot later in the race. Meanwhile, Dan Michonski, piloting his band new car for the first time powered past Otto for the lead. Otto would suffer mechanical issues and have to retire early from the race. Michonski would be joined at the front by Trent Nolan and Jeremy Christians providing attacks from the high and low side. While Michonski fought to keep the top spot, Van Straten was making his way into the battle. Van Straten would make his way to second and set his sights on another feature win as he tracked down Michonski. Van Straten would grab the top spot and cruise to Victory Lane. Michonski placed second with Nolan and Christians in the top four. 

Rocket Ron Berna lived up to his nickname and rocketed to the front out of corner two on lap one of the feature event. While Berna was running away, Todd Frank and Luke Postl were battling for the second spot. Caution would fly as Frank found trouble and had to limp his damaged machine to the pits for the night. When the race continued, current Points leader, Kyle Raddant would power to the second spot getting by Troy Springborn on the high side. Another caution opened the door for Nick Anvelink to grab third from Springborn as the top two got away. Berna would notched another win with Raddant, Anvelink, Springborn and Joel Bennett in the top five. 

Max Oreskovich has been on the cusp of a feature win for some time in the IMCA Sport Mod division. Oreskovich grabbed the early lead and quickly found his preferred line on the low side of the track. While Max was setting the pace out front, Jeffery Teske moved into the second spot and started his pursuit of another checkered flag. Teske would close the gap working high side only to have Oreskovich pull away on the back stretch. Lap traffic would help Teske get right to the back bumper of the leader in the closing stages of the event. Nothing would deny Oreskovich his trip to Victory Lane as he held off Teske for the win. Jayden Schmidt would grab third with Tyler Sobiesczyk fourth. 

Lucas Hacker would once again show his dominance in the Mighty 4’s division as he grabbed the lead from the start and never looked back. Hacker cruised to his third win this year. Tony Everard and Carl King would grab second and third.
