Racing fans were treated to special night at Red River Co-op Speedway as they had the opportunity to meet the stars of NASCAR on Thursday night. The evening kicked off with an autograph session featuring Michael Waltrip, Kenny Wallace, Sterling Marlin and Ken Schrader. Fans were later treated to a Match Race featuring all four drivers running Wissota Super Stocks.  Michael Waltrip was victorious.

In weekly action, Colin Kendall passed Dan Enns with four laps to go, and then pulled away from the field to the Wissota Super Stock feature. Lee McRae took the checkered flag in the Super Truck feature after passing Eric Guyot with five laps remaining in the 15 lap Main. Ricky Weiss led for most of the 20 lap feature and went on to win the Late Model division.

Finally, Shane Edginton celebrated his birthday by keeping Ward Imrie in check on the closing laps and captured the checkered flag in Wissota Modified action.

The evening was concluded with a spectacular fireworks display.

Next racing action for Red River Co-op Speedway will be next Thursday, July 22nd.  Gates open at 6:30pm, racing starts at 7:30pm.
