HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Brett Berry has made a name for himself over the past few weeks, including on Saturday night at SaltCity Racing at the Kansas State Fairgrounds. The Hays native claimed his third title in the IMCA Modified in a one-week stretch.

Berry won the checkered flag at Dodge City Raceway Park last Saturday, then it was Friday night at Salina Speedway, and Saturday at SaltCity Racing. The win for Berry on Saturday marked his 11th win of the season.

Troy Gemmill from Ponca City, Okla., finished in second place behind Berry. Hutch natives Jake Nightingale and Peyton Burkhart finished 3-4.

Mike Petersilie picked up the win in IMCA Stock Car Feature. The win is his second of the year, with both coming at SaltCity Racing. Petersilie claimed the IMCA Stock Car Feature in Hutch on June 21. The Hoisington native placed fourth on Friday night in La Crosse in the Super Late Models Feature race. 

Cleo Adams from Oklahoma City finished second behind Petersilie. Adams moved up 12 spots throughout the race to make up the most ground of any competitor. Hutch native Scott Miller placed third.

Tyler Nerud made the trip down from Dorchester, Neb. to win the IMCA Northern SportMod Feature. The win Saturday is the 10th of the season for Nerud. 

Salina native Warren Huffman finished second, while Jimmy Brozek from Stafford took third. 

The final race of the night saw Dusty Leonard from Marysville win the Dirt Super Late Models Feature. Leonard had the top qualifying time from the heats, and proved to be the top racer from start to finish in the feature. The win for Leonard is his third of the season. 

Dan Smith from Beloit took second, while Delbert Smith from Wichita placed third.

The next event at SaltCity Racing is Championship Night on Friday, Sept. 20. For more information, click here
