Lonsdale’s Dustin Tuma claimed the win in the 3M feature for the ACDelco Power Stocks Saturday night at Elko Speedway before Mother Nature claimed the rest of the night.  Lakeville’s Scott King took the early lead and battled with Tim Hollen, Richfield, for the first eight laps before Hollen finally grabbed the point around the high side of King, bringing Tuma with him.  A seven car fierce pile-up on lap fourteen claimed three of the top cars.  Lakeville’s Robert Clingingsmith cut a tire coming out of turn four collecting the cars in tow.  After a short red session, Tuma grabbed the lead from Hollen and never looked back.  Cliff Adee, Lakeville, was able to wind through traffic allowing the seventeen year old a strong second place finish in front of King, Hollen and Michael Schmitz of Northfield.

Cruiser feature wins were earned by the teams of Jeff Ewanika and Steve Jensen of Northfield and New Prague’s Brad Simon and Steve Schalwig.

Strong Thunderstorms with intense lightening claimed the rest of the race night.
