Fincher Flies in Limited Modified Main

Lee Fincher jumped out front in the 23-car, 20-lap Limited Modified main with Kamron Campbell and Derek Rashall in tow. Howard Willis and Thomas Downey got by Rashall in turns1-2, with Phil Dixon getting by Downey for fourth in turn 3. Downey lost another spot to Randy Bridges on lap 2 and fell into the clutches of Brad Ball. Dixon's top five run came to an end when he slowed and stopped in turn 4.

 

On the restart Campbell tried to stay with Fincher, with Bridges and Ball wheel to wheel for fourth, and Kevin Batterbee getting along side Downey for sixth. Coming to halfway it was Fincher, Campbell, Willis, Ball and Batterbee in the top five. Bridges brought out the yellow on lap 10 when he stopped in turn 2 with a flat tire.

 

Once back to green, Ball was challenging Willis on the high side and took the spot. Batterbee and Willis then swapped fourth corner for corner. Brian Poulter got turned around and backed into the back stretch wall on lap 13 to bring out a yellow flag. As green waved again Ball tried Campbell getting along side, but not past. Campbell gave up the spot a lap later when he pulled to the infield.

 

A caution for debris on the front stretch saw a lap 16 caution fly setting up a four lap shootout to the finish. Under caution Willis pulled off making the top five now Fincher, Ball, Batterbee, Derek Ross and John Matt for the restart. Ross and Matt went side by side for fifth once racing resumed. Batterbee and Ball had a spirited battle for second as the top three pulled away. Batterbee put a good ol' fashioned slide job on Ball to take second, but too late to catch Fincher who easily took the win.

Rickey Riley and Buster Dean got around Gary Seals for fourth and fifth as G. Seals slowed and dropped to the back. Dean then got past Riley for fourth. R. Seals got a good lead over Dixon and Weunschel as they ran door to door for second and Chris Jewell worked his way up to fourth.

 

As the top four finally spread out, Dean and Mark Garner were side by side for fifth with Garner taking the spot a lap later. Jewell and Garner were able to chase down Weunschel for third just past halfway. Up front R. Seals got hung up behind a slower car giving Dixon the chance to close in on lap 14.

 

With five to go, Weunschel, Jewell and Garner were three wide for third when Weunschel broke and stopped in turn 3. On the restart R.

The 17-car, 20-lap Pure Stock feature got off to a wild start as Robbie Beall jumped out front, it was four wide for second and three wide for eighth. As Bradley Hellman, Daniel Seals and James Noland sorted out behind Beall it was still three wide for fifth. Rhett Strainer finally secured that spot from Chance Mekalip, he then took over fourth from Noland. A Cody Tankersley spin on lap 5 brought out the caution.

 

Once back to green B. Hellman and Seals continued to battle for second with Randal Page taking fourth from Strainer. Beall was building a good advantage over Hellman and Seals, but R. page was forced from fourth with flat giving the position to Strainer, with Roger Hellman in fifth. Tankersley's second spin on lap 12 brought out the yellow and rebunched the field. B. Hellman hung on to Beall as green waved again as hey broke away from the pack.

 

Beall maintained a three-car edge over R. Hellman while Seals had problems failing out of the top five. R. Hellman closed the gap in the final laps and caught Beall with two to go. R. Hellman dove under Beall in turn 3 and as the two traded paint Beall got picked by a slower car with all three making contact as R. Hellman getting the lead. R. Hellman would run the final lap unchallenged to grab the victory.
