The Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series returned to action on Saturday evening at the Tyler County Speedway for the 4th Annual Mega 100. Jeff Mathews from Apollo Beach, FL would pick up the huge $15,000.00 pay day in his #33 entry.
28 starters would take the green flag on a clear West Virginia night to battle on the always racy Tyler County Speedway. KC Burdette would grab the early lead and would maintain the top spot for the first thirteen circuits followed closely by Jesse Wiscarver and Shawn Jett. Shawn Jett would grab the lead from KC Burdette on lap-fourteen but his time up front would be short-lived as he would slow with a mechanical failure on lap-seventeen. On the restart, front running contenders Wisecarver and Mathews would make contact in turn four that would trigger a multi car accident that would end the night for Wisecarver and Chris Arnold. With KC Burdette still leading the event, Jeff Mathews would begin pressure for the lead and ultimately grab the top spot on lap-thirty. In the closing laps, Mike Mckinney and Lucas Lee would make their presence known as the two would begin to chase down race leader Mathews. McKinney was able to pull alongside Mathews and apply heavy pressure for the top spot but his bid for the would be slowed by the event’s final caution for Kyle Bond in turn-three on lap-51. On the final restart, Mathews would inch away to claim the 4th Annual Mega 100! Lucas Lee would edge Mike McKinney for the second-place position. David Stremme would claim fourth and 21st starter Dan Davies would round out the top five.
The remainder of the top ten at the completion of the Summit Racing Equipment A-Main at Tyler County Speedway would be Ryan Ayers, KC Burdette, Jacob Hawkins, Michael Altobelli, and Cody Parker.
The next event for the Summit Racing Equipment Modified Series will be July 1st at Mansfield Motor Speedway. The event will pay $5,000.00 to the winner.
