Calvert City, KY-June 13, 2015- The Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series would finally get a full night of racing action in at Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway as the track and racers endured a pair of short rain delays, but when all was finished, Stormy Scott of Las Cruces, NM would pick up the $5,000 payday and score his first series win and become the 31st different winner in series history and Scott became the sixth different driver to visit victory lane in the 2015 season with the tour. Scott scored his win in a guest appearance in the seat of the Chad Kinder owned McLane Motors/All Star Performance/Wick Racing Fuel/Quick Car Products/Mark Bush Racing sponsored #22s Bandit by Mark Bush, Mullins Race Engines powered mount.
Josh Harris would take the early race lead in the event and would hold the top spot until Stormy Scott would take the lead on lap 25, but Harris would retake the spot one circuit later, but Scott would not be denied and would make what would be the winning pass on lap 32 in an event that featured three and sometimes four wide racing action throughout the field. Tyler Nicely would sneak past Harris in the closing laps to claim the runner-up spot, with Harris rounding out the podium finishers with a third place effort. Trent Young and Matt Cooper would complete the top five.
The remainder of the top ten at the completion of the Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway A-Main A-Main would be Clayton Miller, Nick Stroupe, Jason Hughes, Tait Davenport, and Lucas Lee. The 35 lap, $5,000 to win event would be slowed by three caution flags.
