Monty Bolton Brings them to their feet !

 

Its back to racing at CMS after the being closed for the Texas Nationals, and the car count at the track showed. Racers were ready to get back to racing. 23 IMCA Modifieds were on hand for the night. #41 Monty Bolton paid a visit to Cardinal, and race fans always like to see him run.

 

#117 Derrick Frintz and 26s Pete Seidl were on the front row to the green, while #41 Monty Bolton was on the sixth row outside. Lap 3 saw #32 Bryce Corley getting tangled with #44 Trent Crawford and others going into turn one and again #32 spun in turn four on the same lap causing a red flag and couple of cars to have to leave the track.

 

On the restart it was #86 Brian Flowers ,#117 Derrick Frintz, #21 Jimmy Breeding, #8 Ken Couch. #41 Monty Bolton was charging to the front behind #8 Ken Couch. The race went by smooth and fast until lap 13 when #32 Bryce Corley was involved in yet another spin with other cars that brought out the red flag.

 

#8 Ken Couch was forced to leave the track with a broken fuel line allowing #41 Monty Bolton to be in third on the restart. With #21 Jimmy Breeding running the low line snuggly Bolton had to move to the high grove to try to get position, the last 4 laps, was some of the best racing to date this season, Bolton would pull strong in the front straight, side by side and get almost past Jimmy Breeding for second, but Jimmy would hold the bottom grove in turn 1 & 2, get the position back , and Bolton would get back the advantage in high grove off turn 3 & 4 , but coming to the wire it was #41 Bolton having the momentum out of turn four to the checker for second place , while Brian Flowers stayed out front for the win.
