HURON, S.D. -- Seven-time defending O’Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series national champion Kelly Shryock of Fertile, Iowa, picked up his fifth straight win Wednesday in the Inaugural Dakotaland Federal Credit Union Nationals at the Dakota State Fair Speedway in Huron, S.D.

The win was Shryock's 14th overall during the 2006 campaign and worth $2,000 to the pilot of the No. 3 Skyrocket Modified.

Brad McEwan jumped into the early lead of the 25-lap Holley "A" Main, and held off Shryock for the first three laps before Shryock was able to slip by for the top spot. From there, Shryock sailed to the checkers with local favorite Kent Arment of Aberdeen, S.D., finishing second. McEwan hung on for third, with Tony Leiker of Gillette, Wyo., in fourth and Blooming Prairie, Minn's. Tommy Myer rounding out the top five finishers.

Mark Noble of Blooming Prairie, Minn., started 14th in the main event field and passed seven cars en route to earning the Olympic Fire Protection Hard Charger honors.

The mid-week South Dakota tripleheader wraps up tomorrow (Thursday, June 29) with the 3rd Annual Team Electronics Summer Slam at Casino Speedway in Watertown, which will pay $2,000 to win and a minimum $200 to start. From there, the O’Reilly USMTS heads to the brand-new, state-of-the-art Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., for the 1st Annual “Diamond of Dirt Tracks” Modified Nationals on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, July 1-3. Monday's main event winner will pocket $5,000.
