BUSTI, N.Y. - A light shower at start time delayed the start of the Neil's Propane sponsored events, but a short hot lap session for the E-Mods was followed by their make-up feature from last week which was handily won by Al Cressley.
Time trials were dropped because of the early rain so pill draw aligned the Super Late Models for the four Independent Racing Series heat races where the top four would qualify for the 40-lap feature.
Robbie Blair won the IRS four lap dash to earn the pole position in the main event. Dutch Davies was second with brother Ron third and Wally Fox fourth.
Jason Dupont won the first IRS Consolation event and John Lobb won the second to set the starting field.
Chad Ruhlman and Blair battled the entire 50 laps of the IRS feature with Ruhlman winning by a nose over the IRS point leader.
It was the 16th feature win at Stateline for Ruhlman.
In other action, Tyler Green inherited the lead from Zachary Downes then controlled the remaining laps of the Spectator make-up feature for his second win of the season.
A smoking Brandon Groters grabbed second from McClenahan on the white flag lap then tangled with an out of shape Aron Dascomb forcing both to lose a couple of spots as Green went on to win the event.
Mike Moon won the second Spectator feature and John Swabik won the third Spectator feature.
Glen Slaney won his second Outlaw Cadet feature in a caution filled event while Stephanie Hilyer won her second Lady Challenger feature.
Kyle Jackson lost the first Super Challenger race at the finish line to Rick Karash and Steve Keith Jr. returned to victory lane in the second Super Challenger feature.
Rich Michael Jr. won his first E-Mod feature of the season, John Boardman won his fourth Super Challenger feature, passing early leader Ben Burgess.
