Everson, WA – Mid season championships and fireworks were on the agenda at Deming Speedway on Friday evening with action sponsored by Les Schwab, Blade RV Center and 92.9 KISM. Winners on midseason championship night were Kaitlyn Hammer, Steven Hendrickson, Evan Margeson, Dakota Drake and Levi Hillier.

It was a fantastic battle for the win in the Speedmart Hoosier 600 Open division that punctuated the night. Kaitlyn Hammer inherited the lead on lap five and had Jared Peterson right on her tail. For 20 laps, Peterson dogged Hammer all around the track, running right up to her rear nerf bar numerous times. Hammer never faltered, keeping Peterson at bay the whole time as she picked up her second win of the season.

Four hundredths of a second were all that separated the top two in the Shots 2 Go Espresso 1200 division. Steven Hendrickson got caught in slower traffic, breaking his rhythm and allowing Seth Hespe to rapidly close the gap. The two threw slidejobs at each other over the last two laps, with Hendrickson barely hanging on at the end for the win, his fourth of the season.

It was all Evan Margeson in the Northwest Focus Midget Series main event. Margeson led all twenty laps of the main, surviving a number of restarts before taking the victory ahead of Nick Evans and Jonathan Jorgenson.

The night was rough for the Mytrafficman.NET 600 restricted division. The main event was shortened to just eighth laps as a bevy of cautions pushed the race over it’s time limit. At the end of the night, Dakota Drake won her third main event of the year, leading every lap.

Levi Hillier collected his fourth win of the year in the Kasey Kahne Junior Sprints. HIllier led all twenty laps of the main, hanging on for the victory despite a steering issue that hampered him over the final few circuits.
