SPRING VALLEY, Minn. (July 24) - A great night during the 1st Annual Mascot night at "THE CREEK". We really have some great sponsors/fans at the speedway and they showed up in force tonight.
Early in the day Randy and Patti Eastvold from Hanson Tire called and said they were going to add $100 to each winning drivers check.
As the night started we had Mascot night at the speedway. Each school that had their mascot on hand was to be given a $50.00 check. All fans who wore the colors for those schools got in for $5.00. Invites were sent out early in the year and we received responses from 5 schools but only four showed up last night. They were Grand Meadow, Pine Island, Osage Iowa and Stewartville. The crowd was to determine which Mascot was their favorite. The fan favorite mascot would get a $250.00 donation to their school. During the voting some phone calls and messages were passed on from fans/sponsors on hand for the action. These sponsors decided to add some additional money to make it $500.00 to win the vote. But that was not all because as they tried to determine the final winner more calls were made and the totals were ran up. Also each Mascot sold raffle tickets during the night raising another $435.00 for the schools. The raffles were of items donated by the Minnesota Vikings who had their mascot Viktor on hand during the afternoon and evenings. Viktor participated in many of the activities, working the flag stand, helping with the kids club and opening ceremonies.
Kelly Anderson took the early lead in the Altenburg Construction WISSOTA Late Model feature event with Mike Prochnow and Keith Foss racing for second. Foss powered by Prochnow on the high side and before the completion of lap one he drove around Anderson to take over the top spot. A caution flew with four down and on the restart Prochnow moved past Anderson for second and Brad Waits, Doug Herrick and Dennis Hillson raced for fourth. Herrick took the spot with Waits settling into the fifth spot. With ten completed Foss started to work in lapped traffic as he flew around the top side of the speedway. With fifteen down heavy traffic came into play for the leader but he was able to work through them quickly. Lance Matthees moved into the top five on lap nineteen garnering him the Hard Charger award from Greg Hummel for the night. With two laps to go Foss ran into a pack of three cars racing for position. As they ran three wide with Foss looking for a place to get through Prochnow rapidly gained on him. Prochnow showed his nose just as Foss found the hole he was looking for and shot through to take the win.
