In addition to the IMCA Modifieds in action on Saturday June 20th for the Wild West Modified Shootout there were two support divisions. Playing those roles for the second straight night were the Super Sports and Street Stocks. The car counts in both classes were up from the previous night.
Taking the lead on lap nine it looked like Clay Debban of Shedd was going to win the caution filled Super Sport feature. Driving his Brownsville Calf Ranch #84 entry Debban would have the field covered until a late race caution. The incident would eventually result in a red flag but under the stoppage his car would overheat and put him out of action. The lead would go to Lebanon's Jeff Rash and Rash would stay out in front the rest of the distance to win his second race of the season, and the first in the Super Sports, this time doing so in the Hackney Racing/Wirth Wireless #3 Swartz machine.
Obtaining the lead while racing back to the caution on lap twelve in the Street Stock main Kyle Yeack would show once again he is a dominant force in the class. Yeack, of Lebanon and in his Cascade Outdoor Power Equipment/Laura Gillott at Keller Williams Reality #47 Cutlass, would keep his mount in the prime position to win the race. It would be the sixth race of 2015.
