Shawn Peter of Mable, Minn., raced to victory in a dominating fashion Thursday night as the Deer Creek Speedway kicked off the 5th Annual World Modified Dirt track Championship presented by Red Tail Tackle.

From the outside of the front row, Peter took control of the race at the drop of the green flag and was never challenged in the 20-lap affair.

He pocketed $500 for his efforts.

Kevin Donlan was second, Mitch Hovden finished third, fourth went to Lynn Panos and Kyle Falck rounded out the top five.

Action continues Friday night with another complete program of heat races and main events for the USRA Stock Cars which once again share the spotlight with the USMTS Modifieds and Wissota Midwest Mods.

For those unfortunate souls unable to attend the event in person, you can still be gettin’ the dirt from every lap of every race via pay-per-view at www.racindirt.com/live.

While Thursday and Friday nights will award national points for the USRA Stock Cars, Saturday’s show is also a Holley Iron Man Series event for the fast and furious full-fendered freaks.

Racing starts at 6:30 p.m. Friday and the show gets started at 6 p.m. on Saturday.
