The largest crowd so far this season descended on Delaware Speedway Friday evening to enjoy the great weather and competition at Delaware Speedway. Feature race winners included Matt Pritiko in the Pro Late Models, Branden Verhoeven in the GAW Recycling Super Stocks, and Tom Zagorodny in the Demar Aggregates Trucks.

Matt Pritiko (#21) of London won the 40-lap Pro Late Model feature. For the first 30 laps of the feature, Barry Newman (#82) of Springfield held top spot, despite Mark Watson's (#3) consistent attempts to push his way into first. Going into lap 30, Watson of St. Thomas and Shawn Thompson (#27) of Ailsa Craig were racing side by side for second position, resulting in an major crash and also collecting Jamie Cox (#22) of Dorchester. Pritiko took advantage of the restart after the caution and was able to pull ahead of Newman in lap thirty-one and quickly put the field behind him. Pritiko was able to hold the lead and go to victory lane on his sponsor's night.Newman placed second and Brady Smith (#39) of Coldstream placed third.

"It's always a long race, so you need to take it easy and save your tires," explained Pritkio in victory lane. "Anything could happen and it definitely turned out the best for us. Barry's a good friend of ours, he works in the same race shop as us, so it's always great to race with him."

Branden Verhoeven, the 17-year old sophomore sensation from Kerwood finished first for the third time this season in the 35-lap GAW Recycling Super Stock feature. Verhoeven held a steady lead from lap 2, but not without challenge especially from Kenny McNicol Jr. (#17) of Exeter and Darrell Lake (#77) of London. In lap 27, an incident involving five cars resulted in a red flag for a major crash. Following the red flag, Verhoeven was still able to secure first position despite McNicol Jr. pushing hard for first into lap 28 and 29. Into the final lap, Verhoeven had managed to put enough space between his car and McNicol Jr.'s to secure the win. McNicol Jr. however battled with Lake for second and third position until McNicol Jr. Crossed the finish line second and Lake placed third.

Tom Zagorodny (#77) of London won the 25-lap Demar Aggregates Truck feature, sporting some fresh tires he received for his birthday. He passed Andrew Pocs (#95) of Tillsonberg in lap three and was able to hold the position to the checkered flag. Pocs fought for second place with Jeff Denboer (#22) of London and ran side-by-side across the finish line. Ultimately, Pocs placed second and Denboer placed third.

Tiffany Hoffman (#92) of Stratford won the Ladies Bone Stock 10-lap race in her car normally driven by her boyfriend Kyle Neumeister. Hoffman pulled into the lead in the eighth lap, when Kim Schindel (#22) spun around in traffic. This allowed Hoffman to pass Stacey Stunden (#12) who had held the lead from early in the race.
