JAMES HILL DOUBLES IN MOD LITE TWIN FEATURES

The Mod Lites ran double features – the regularly scheduled 20-lap Fall Championship qualifier and the 15-lap curfew makeup from two weeks prior. The night started with the 15-lap makeup feature. Jason Musser set the early pace. Jake Nelson was running strong but lost and engine, rolling to a stop with fire under the hood. The fire was quickly extinguished and Nelson was not injured.

On the restart James Hill began to pressure Musser, taking the lead at the halfway sign. The remainder of the race was caution free and Hill drove to his fifth checkered of the year. Musser maintained second with Ray Gulliver third. Fourth went to Tim White and Aaron VanVorst rounded out the top five.

Heats were won by Hill and Tim White. In the 20-lap Fall Championship qualifier, Musser would again lead at the start. The red was out on lap three when Nelson got out of shape coming off of turn two and Gulliver launched over his front wheel at full speed. Gulliver’s car gyrated into the air hitting the back straight billboards about ten feet above the track. The car took out about 24 feet of signage and landed outside the speedway. Gulliver was able to climb from the car uninjured.

Musser would be able to hold the lead on the restart but once again Hill took the lead off of turn two and never looked back. Tim White followed into second but could only watch Hill fade in the distance. Hill picked up his second win of the night his sixth of the season to remain undefeated. White finished in second with VanVorst third. Musser finished in fourth and Nick Nash rounded out the top five.
