GAS CITY, Ind. — Lee Hobbs took home $1,000 out of a $7,000 purse for winning the 20-lap Street Stock Rumble Friday night at Gas City I-69 Speedway.
Tye Mihocko earned his first 25-lap Gas City non-winged sprint car feature victory, while Chett Gehrke was victorious in the 20-lap USAC SpeeD2 Midwest Thunder midget feature.
Defending track champion Derek Losh won the 20-lap main event for the modifieds for his sixth such feature victory of the year, and Nick Edwards was the surprise winner of the 15-lap hornet feature.
The Street Stock Rumble lived up to its billing, as it was a lot like gang warfare on a city street despite the fact Gas City is a quarter-mile dirt oval in the country. There were seven caution flags before Hobbs took the checkered 2.751 seconds before runner-up Glenn Bradley.
It was Hobbs’ fifth feature victory of the year at Gas City. Following Hobbs, Bradley and Turner were Kory Conner and Ron Flaugh.
Mihocko stepped into Jamie and Michelle Paul’s High Asspirations Farms DRC Foxco No. 24p, started on the pole and led all 25 laps of the sprint car feature for his first Gas City feature victory ever.
Former track champion Thomas Meseraull started second and chased Mihocko the whole way.
Meseraull used the low groove to stay right behind Mihocko initially, but by lap 12 Mihocko had a 0.506-second lead. There were two late yellows with 17 laps down and 20 laps down that gave Meseraull additional chances, but Mihocko had great restarts and won by 1.204 seconds.
Kyle Shipley finished third after starting 10th. Korbyn Hayslett passed even more cars, racing from 19th to fifth.
 before he finished fourth. He started 19th but kept digging. He didn’t break into the top 10 until lap 12 or into the top five until lap 21. But he got fourth on lap 22 by passing Kendall, who held on for fifth.
