INDEPENDENCE, Iowa (July 14) - A great field of cars showed up for the Corn Belt Clash Late Model Series at Independence Motor Speedway despite scorching temperatures and the threat of stormy weather.

Dave Eckrich started to advance himself from the field quickly but it was Jason Rauen who powered to the second spot within the first few laps of the 35-lap Late Model feature. The top two drivers quickly began to reel in the tail of the field as Rauen shot to the lead on lap ten. Jason Utter moved into the third position with Terry Neal and Curt Martin right behind.

By the halfway point, Rauen distanced himself from second place Eckrich as Utter was sitting solid in third. Martin was in fourth as Chad and Chris Simpson were side by side for the fifth position. One thing that Rauen didn't want to see was a caution, but with less then ten laps to go the final caution of the event took place. Rauen didn't seem to be hurt by the restart as he pulled away from Eckrich and Utter. Utter used the restart to shoot pass Eckrich. Eckrich began to fade as he slipped back through the field as Martin moved into fourth. The checkers waved as Rauen took home the win. Utter, Martin, Chad Simpson and Chris Simpson followed.
