The Upper Midwest Sprint Car Series (UMSS) Non Wing Traditional Sprints were on hand at Chateau Speedway Friday night, along with regular seven classes.

The full night of action featured the largest field of cars to hit the track in this shortened season and another full house packed the grandstand to take in the action.

A little extra money was kicked in for the UMSS boys and they responded with some quality racing. The group markets themselves as a value-based racing organization. 

They credit the fact that you can go racing in their series for under $10,000. Racers take a B Mod Motor, convert it to alcohol burning, and put a two barrel carb on it to keep the cost down and keep the enjoyment high. 

The enjoyment was high for drivers and fans Friday night with the show they put on as a pair of fast-paced caution-free heats were won by Scott Brandt of Andover, Minnesota, and Ryan Bowers of Nowthen, Minnesota.

At feature time, there was another caution-free event with Brandt backing up his heat win with a flag-to-flag win in the main event. Brandt has been dominant in the series so far this year as he picked up his fourth feature win on the circuit.

Bryan Roach of Welch, Minnesota, came out of row two to move into second on lap two, but was never a threat.
