Lebanon, Mo.- Fresh off a family vacation last week, current USRA Out Pace B Modified National point leader Kris Jackson of Lebanon took the lead from leader and current track point leader Sam Petty after a hard 5 lap door to door battle on lap 11 to gather his 11th Midway feature win of the season in the 20 lap caution feature.

The feature saw two graduates from the Midwest Modified class as Dayton Newell and Dillion McCowan brought the grid to the green with Newell grabbing the opening lead as current track point leader Sam Petty following close behind with McCowan and points runner-up Tyler Knudtson following as Jackson started the feature from the 11th starting spot. With a 2 wide move, Petty took command on lap 2 as all eyes were on Jackson slicing through the tough field. Petty began to stretch out the lead as Newell found Jackson along side of him in the race for 2nd place on lap 4 while central Missouri standout Modified driver Eric Turner was coming to life and through the field. With Petty keeping the top spot, Jackson began his charge to the front on lap 6 and the chase was on while Newell and Turner went side by side while defending track champion Tyler Brown was moving forward to a top 5 spot. Up front Jackson began to close the gap as Turner took over 3rd spot. Jackson finally caught the leader Petty and the duo went door to door for 5 solid laps before Jackson was able to swing to the outside lane out of turn 4 on lap 13. Petty tried to overtake Jackson for a couple pf laps but Jackson with his Rage Chassis/Ruble Engines/Van’s Motor Sales 65 held back Petty’s Shaw/Mac’s Engines/John Moore Logging number 9 for the win as Turner took home a solid 3rd place run while Tyler Brown held back Newell for the 4th place spot.as 10 of the 14 starters finished on the lead lap. Heat race wins went to Knudtson and Jackson as a 3 row invert provided a great race program with lots of passing through the entire field.

For the winner, Jackson had to really pick his spots and the competition level provided a driver with planning his moves.” I knew t would be tough tonight as I had Tyler Brown right in front of me and Turner in front of him. With Sam in row 2 and Knudtson in row 3 I had a tough road tonight. The inside lane was tough with heavy hitters and somehow we were able to clear some traffic early which helped. When we stayed green that long, I really didn’t know if I could catch Petty tonight but the track was in great shape and smooth and racy and it played to our hand. For Petty, who was ranked in the top 10 in the USRA National point standings,finishing behind Jackson wasn’t a disappointment. Yes we wanted to win, But to race door to door with the National leader and be right there with him, you learn. Kris always races us clean here at Midway. This was a tough field and with us starting in row 2, was a good spot but I knew the guys from the mid to back pack would be coming. They are that good.
