Current Springfield Raceway USRA Modified point leader Jody Tillman took the lead from outside pole setter Brian Green on the opening lap and kicked it in high gear in a dominating performance Saturday Night at The “Quick Quarter” of The Springfield Raceway on Indigo Sky Casino Raining Money Night at the races. For the West Branson veteran it was his 2nd feature win of the season. Brian Green looked early to be able to match Tillman but issues forced him to the pits very early. Jim Body stayed in striking distance but could not match Tillman. The real excitement was the battle for 3rd place as Jerry Lankton and James Thompson went door to door for the final 8 laps before Lankton was able to nip the spot at the finish line.

Jolly and Bobby Pearish kept the heat on the leader Dalton and each other until a last lap restart saw Jolly jump the top cushion in turn 2 as Pearish took advantage to secure the runner-up spot with points runner-up Justin Comer, Derek Watson, and Dwight Niehoff completing the top 5.
