The front stretch on the fairgrounds track on the closing night of the Kandiyohi County Fair saw bumper-to-bumper traffic during the 40-car Demolition Derby, which had some drivers steaming. In one accompanying photo, Eric Settergren, No. 101x, of Litchfield, Ahsan Bhatti, No. 85, of Willmar and Ben Vlaminck, No. 115, of Blomkest placed 1-2-3, respectively, in the Beginners Chainstock Class that opened the competition.
