Fairbury, IL (May 26, 2018): The Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series would compete Saturday evening at Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, IL with the Memorial Day Weekend Roundup and Mike Harrison from Highland, IL would score the $2,000 payday and visit victory lane in his Impressive Chassis #24H.
Mike McKinney would lead the opening circuit of the 30 lap, $2,000 to win A-Main contest before Mike Harrison would use his outside second row starting position to gain the top spot on lap two. The first of two cautions would fly for a tangle between Tait Davenport, Rich Dawson, and Bob Pohlman in turn four on lap 3. Harrison would continue to lead the contest with new challenger Trent Young pressuring from behind until the lap 14 caution for Ryan Unzicker. Once the race resumed, Young would pull along side Harrison on a few occasions but Harrison continued to utilize top side momentum and would lead the remainder of the event to score the win. Young would settle for runner-up honors, Mike McKinney would finish third, Lucas Lee in fourth, and rounding out of the top five would be Ray Bollinger.
The remainder of the top ten at the completion of the Summit Racing Equipment A-Main at Fairbury American Legion Speedway would be Randy Lines, Jeff Leka, Steven Brooks, McKay Wenger, and Josh Harris.
The next event for the Summit Racing Equipment Modified Series will be May 27th at Fayette County Speedway.
