MEMPHIS, Mo. (Oct. 5) - What a great night for racing at
the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway, with temperatures in
the lower 70's at race time on Friday during the 3rd
Annual Pepsi USRA Nationals. Taking home feature wins on
the night were Dean Mahlstedt (USRA Modifieds), Zack
VanderBeek (USRA Stock Cars), Wyatt Lantz (USRA B-Mods),
Jason McDaniel (USRA Hobby Stocks), Ben Moudry (Outlaw
Hobbys) and Luke Davidson (Hornets).

The first feature to take to the track was the 15-lap
Outlaw Hobby feature, with Ben Moudry and Beau Taylor
drawing the front row for the event. Moudry would take
advantage of his front row starting spot to grab the lead
on the drop of the green flag. Moudry then worked to try
and hold off Jake Wenig, as the two drivers ran
side-by-side several times before Wenig pulled out with
front end troubles. Moudry then held off Cody Henkes, who
started tenth, to pick up the win. Jeff Soper would finish
in third, Rob Wilsey was fourth, Keith Reed was fifth,
with Brandon Symmonds taking the final qualifying spot for
Saturdays feature. Wilsey, Henkes and Moudry each picked
up a heat race win.

Up next was the 10-lap Hornet feature, with Devin Still
and Andrew Hustead leading the field to the green. But it
was third place starter and 2007 track champion Luke
Davidson jumping out front on lap 1. Davidson then held
the lead until lap 6, when Tyler Whalen slipped by for the
top spot. But Whalen had a tire go down on lap 8, giving
the lead back to Davidson who held off Bill Whalen over
the final two laps to claim the win. Jim Garrett was
third, Bill Young was fourth, with Brent Hartley rounding
out the top five. Heat race winners were Bill Whalen and
Lew Aikman

Zack VanderBeek and Jason Cook drew the front row for the
18-lap USRA Stock Car feature, with VanderBeek moving out
front on lap 1. Cook, Tom Schmitt, who started seventh,
and Matt Greiner, who changed motors after hot laps and
started twenty-first, moved up to battle three to wide for
the second spot. VanderBeek would go on to lead all 18
laps and held off a last lap challenge from Schmitt to
grab the win. Greiner would finish in third, Cook was
fourth, Mike Van Genderen was fifth, with Mike Robinson
coming from seventeenth to take the final transfer spot
into Saturdays feature. VanderBeek, Schmitt, Bert McDaniel
Jr., Nathan Wood and Van Genderen each picked up a heat
race win, while Greiner and Greg Mitchell topped the
B-Mains.

The 15-lap USRA Hobby Stock feature was up next, with Alan
Hultz and Mike Shelton drawing the front row for the
event. Shelton would take advantage of his starting spot
to grab the lead on the drop of the green flag. Shelton
would continue to hold the top spot, as Bill Gibson, Jim
Tull and Jason McDaniel battled two and three wide for
second. Gibson would jump to the outside of Shelton on lap
9 to take over the lead, with McDaniel following into
second. Gibson, who was running the bottom, and McDaniel,
who was running up top, would run the final five laps
side-by-side. Coming off the fourth turn on the final lap
the two drivers dragged down the frontstrech to the finish
line, with McDaniel edging out the win by inches over
Gibson, Tull was third, Shelton held for fourth, Jimmy
Hayes was fifth, with Mark Moore grabbing the final
transfer spot into Saturdays feature. Heat race winners
were Hultz, Derek Kirkland and Gibson.

Up next was the 16-lap USRA B-Mod feature, with Craig
Spegal and Wyatt Lantz leading the field to the drop of
the green flag. Lantz jumped out front on lap 1 and then
held on in a shortened race to pick up the win. Tony
Dunker came from the rear after being involved in a early
crash to finish in second, Joe Hooper started sixteenth
and would finish in third, Jeff Waterman came from
fourteenth to finish in fourth, Robbie Reed came from
twentieth to finish in fifth, with Terry Houston came from
twenty-first to take the final transfer spot for Saturdays
feature. Jared Fuller, Dunker, Gillenwater and Charles
VanBoening took home the heat race wins.

The final feature of the night was the 25-lap USRA
Modified feature, with Mark Burgtorf and Blake Sedgwick
drawing the front row for the event. Burgtorf would take
advantage of his front row starting spot to grab the lead
on lap 1, with Mark VanWinkle, Richie Gustin and Al Hejna
battling for second. Burgtorf would hold the top spot
until lap 20, when Dean Mahlstedt, who started ninth,
slipped by for the lead. Mahlstedt then held on over the
final five laps to claim his fourth feature win in a row
in his last four starts. Burgtorf held on for second,
Hejna was third, VanWinkle was fourth, with Ryan Gustin
rounding out the top five. Heat race winners were Bruce
Hanford, Ryan Gustin, Ron VerBeek, Burgtorf and Mahlstedt,
while Bob Dale and Mark Dotson topped the B-Mains.
