Brownstown, IN – July 1, 2017 – The Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series would be in action at Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, IN on Saturday evening and Devin Gilpin would lead all thirty laps of the event and see the checkered flag first and claim the $1,500 payday.
With the heat race winners redrawing to determine starting positions in the first two rows of the event, Devin Gilpin would draw the pole position and jump out to the early race lead and build a comfortable margin until the only caution of the event waved on lap eight for a spin by Bill Hager. With action back underway, Gilpin would continue to lead the event, with Brian Shaw dogging him from his runner-up spot. Shaw would continue to chase Gilpin and by lap twenty-four of the thirty lap event, Shaw had closed to within a couple of car lengths of race leader Gilpin and would pull alongside Gilpin to challenge for the lead on several occasions in the remaining laps of the contest, but Gilpin would hold off the challenges of Shaw to score the victory, with Shaw settling for the runner-up spot, while Josh Harris would claim the final podium finishing position with a third place effort. Jeremy Owens and Jacoby Hines would complete the top five.
The remainder of the top ten at the completion of the Summit Racing Equipment A-Main at Brownstown Speedway would be Tait Davenport, Tony Anderson, Gabe Menser, Matt Boknecht, and John Clippinger.
The next events for the Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series will be Sunday July 2 at Windy Hollow Speedway in Owensboro, KY ($1,500 to win)and Tuesday July 4 at Fayette County Speedway in Brownstown, Il ($1,500 to win).
