BROWNSTOWN, Ind. (May 15) - Dillan White picked up his first career Super Late Model win in spectacular fashion at the Brownstown Speedway on Saturday night, taking the lead with less than five laps to go. Drivers and crews waited out a two hour moisture delay, which made the track lightning fast. Randy Petro rode the highside to victory in the UMP Super Stock division, his 269th career win. Ryan Scott overcame a setback early on in the UMP Hornet division to pick up his first ever win.
Kent Robinson and Steve Barnett led the field to the green in the 25 lap UMP Super Late Model main event, with Robinson darting out to the lead. The original start was brought back due to an incident involving Tim Rivers and Mark Barber coming out of turn four. The field was doubled up for a complete restart. The green flew on the restart, as an incident in turn two slowed the proceedings. The start was brought back once again as debris laid in turn three, bringing out the caution. Robinson was able to take the lead on the start and lead lap one ahead of Barnett. The caution would fly once again on lap two, as Greg Kendall hit the tire in turn four. Robinson led the field to the restart, and opened up a three car advantage over Barnett. Joe Janowski moved around Dillan White to take third on the restart. A three wide battle for fifth between Marty O'Neal, Jeremy Hines, and Jason Smith started to brew on lap five, with O'Neal taking the position. Ahead of them, White and Janowski battled for third, with White on the inside of Janowski. Up front, Barnett started to move closer to Robinson as they worked lapped traffic on lap nine. On lap 11, Robinson only held a car length lead over Barnett, as White moved in on Barnett. They went three wide for the lead coming into lapped traffic on lap 14. Barnett was able to get around Robinson for the lead on lap 15, only to have the lapped car of Brian Wilhite slow up in front of him. Barnett was not able to avoid him, and made contact allowing Robinson back around for the lead. The caution flew on lap 16, as Wilhite spun in turn three. The caution flew on the restart as Rivers, Jim Curry, and Chad Stapleton were involved in a melee in turn one. On the restart, Janowski moved around Barnett to take second.

Tim Schumpe and David Brewer made up the front row for the 20 lap UMP Super Stock main event. The caution was brought back due to a misfire on the original start. The restart fared better, as a three wide battle for the lead between Schumpe, Randy Petro, and Aaron Fields ensued. Fields took the lead, with Petro moving to second, and Jay Deckard third. Jeremy Hines was able to move up into the fourth position, getting around Schumpe. Disaster struck Fields while leading, as his car wiggled a bit coming out of turn two, losing numerous positions. This gave the lead to Petro, and second to Deckard. The caution flew on lap five, as Brewer slowed to a stop in turn one. On the restart, Petro sped off to a three car length advantage over Deckard, who had Hines breathing down his neck for second. At the halfway point, Petro held close to a half straightaway advantage over Deckard, Hines, Justin Hammond, and Kevin Jones in fifth.

When the green flew on the restart, a pileup ensued involving Hines, Gary Rahe, Jr., and Jason Hehman in turn two. The restart saw Petro and Deckard seperate themselves from the field, moving out to a six car length lead over Clark in third. Deckard tried the low side periodically on Petro to make an attempt at the lead, but Petro was faster on the highside. With five to go, it was a two car length advantage over Deckard for Petro. With three to go, the advantage opened up a bit between Petro and Deckard. The advantage was enough for Petro to knock off Deckard's two race win streak.
