Mike Roach Rules Sport Modified Mayhem at DCRP with Brendon Gemmill, Dusty Witthuhn & Tathan Burkhart Scoring as Well!

Lonnie Wheatley, DODGE CITY, Kan. (August 18, 2018) – Woodward, Oklahoma’s Mike Roach became the first repeat winner of Dodge City Raceway Park’s $1,000-to-win Sport Modified Mayhem event by racing to victory lane in Saturday night’s fifth rendition of Mayhem atop the 3/8-mile clay oval.

While Roach topped the 25-lapper from sixth starting position after initially topping the event in 2015, other Saturday night victors included Brendon Gemmill in IMCA Modifieds, Dusty Witthuhn in IMCA Stock Cars and Tathan Burkhart in IMCA Hobby Stocks.

In the 25-lap Fifth Annual Sport Modified Mayhem feature event, Mike Roach needed just four laps to rally from sixth into second and then took the lead away from current IMCA Sport Modified track points leader and defending champion Jeff Kaup on the eighth circuit.

Roach led the rest of the way to post his second consecutive victory at DCRP with Brandon Kenney in tow after taking the second position from Kaup on the ninth lap.  After topping last year’s Sport Modified Mayhem card, Dustin Daniels fell two positions short of going back-to-back by filling out the podium in third with Kaup and Blaine Walt rounding out the top five.

Wichita resident Brendon Gemmill added his second DCRP win of the year as well by charging to victory lane in the 20-lap IMCA Modified main event.

After starting eighth, Gemmill worked his way up to second by the ninth round and then took the lead away from Jesse Hoskins on the 15^thcircuit en route to victory lane.  Hoskins settled for runner-up honors with Troy Gemmill, Jesse Smith and Joel Lane rounding out the top five.

After snapping a three-year winless streak atop DCRP clay last time out on July 27, Dusty Witthuhn made it two wins in a row by besting the 12-lap IMCA Stock Car feature.

Witthuhn assumed the lead at the midway point after early leader Tyler Walker and Shannon Maughlin were forced pitside after an incident while dicing for the lead.  Witthuhn raced on to the stripe ahead of Ondre Rexford and Chris Oliver.

Hays’ Tathan Burkhart added his second IMCA Hobby Stock feature win of the season with a last-lap pass for glory in the 15-lap main event.

Burkhart made his way forward from the ninth-starting position and after clawing his way to second by the 11^th round, he rallied past Duane Wahrman on the final circuit to snare the win.  Wahrman settled for second with Reagan Sellard, Matt O’Hair and Chad Kelley rounding out the top five.

Championship chase racing action continues at Dodge City Raceway Park next Saturday night, August 25, with a full card of Precise Racing Products DCRP Sprint Cars, IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Modifeds, IMCA Stock Cars and IMCA Hobby Stocks.  The green flag flies at 7:30 p.m.
