Chateau Speedway welcomed in the Upper Midwest Sprint Car Series (UMSS) Non Wing Traditional Sprint Cars for the second time in the last month on Friday.

The 120 cars that filled the pits were the most Chateau Speedway has hosted this season.

Leading the way for the 15-car field of UMSS Sprinters was Cam Schafer of St Paul. After managing only a fourth place finish in his heat, Schafer worked from the outside of row two to get up to second place on lap one behind Brian VanMeveren of Woodbury.

Schafer dogged VanMeveren for five laps before moving to the point where he stayed the rest of the way. VanMeveren faded to fifth by the end of the feature as Jon Lewerer of Andover put together a strong run to take second.
