ALTA, Iowa — The only two drivers ever to wear the championship belt of the O’Reilly USMTS National Tour slugged it out again June 24 as a packed house looked on at Buena Vista Raceway.

BRANDON, S.D. — Huset’s Speedway had not been kind to Al Hejna in the previous two visits by the O’Reilly USMTS National Tour. Conversely, Kelly Shryock had cultivated a warm friendship with the  three-eighths-mile dirt oval.
It was a reversal of fortunes June 25, as Hejna scored his second O’Reilly USMTS victory of the season while Shryock’s front-row start for the 40-lap event turned into a last-place finish instead of his third-straight victory.
Hejna, who started 12th and worked his way to the point by lap 33, took the lead for good with three laps to go and held off Jason Hughes for the $2,000 winner’s share.
NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader finished third, ahead of Brandon Kenny in fourth and Scott Green in fifth.
The finish:
Al Hejna, Jason Hughes, Ken Schrader, Brandon Kenny, Scott Green, Tommy Weder, Jr., Kenny Wallace, Zack VanderBeek, Jim Horejsi, Corey Dripps, Josh Reisch, Bryan Rowland, Dereck Ramirez, Marlin Kracht, Brett DeJager, Jay Noteboom, Jason Krohn, Tim Donlinger, Garry Oskerson, Brandon Aggen, Anthony Mann, Jon Tesch, Mike Steensma, Kelly Shryock.

Thursday

WATERTOWN, S.D. — People often refer to a “homefield” advantage when a driver gets to compete at his home track, but sometimes the pressure can be greater than normal.
Such was the case for Jon Tesch Thursday night at Casino Speedway.
Tesch, a three-time track champion at Casino Speedway, captured the O’Reilly USMTS National Tour event two years ago at the three-eighths-mile dirt track, but spun on the first lap last year. This time, Tesch chased leader Kelly Shryock and grabbed the lead on lap 33 en route to the $2,000 triumph.
Shryock finished second, ahead of Jason Hughes, Al Hejna and Zack VanderBeek.
The finish:
Jon Tesch, Kelly Shryock, Jason Hughes, Al Hejna, Zack VanderBeek, Tommy Weder, Jr., Dereck Ramirez, Corey Dripps, Brandon Kenny, Chad Williamson, Bryan Rowland, Scott Ward, Kent Arment, Jim Mathieson, Mike Lineberry, Scott Green, Josh Reisch, Arne Anderson, Anthony Mann, Jason Krohn, Jay Noteboom, Ryan Engels, Joe Waba, Chris Prussman.
