FARMER CITY, IL – AUGUST 31, 2018

The Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series would visit the Farmer City Raceway on Friday night for the second leg of the Labor Day swing in Illinois. Mike Harrison from Highland, IL would continue his dominance in his Impressive Chassis #24H entry and collect the $3,000 pay day.

Series point leader Trent Young and Mike Harrison would lead the 22-car field to green on Friday night. Harrison would grab the lead over Young utilizing the high side of the speedway off turn four as the duo would complete the opening lap of the 35 lap A-Main event. Harrison would quickly begin to edge away from the field as the battle for second would begin to heat up between Young, Tyler Nicely, and Tait Davenport. The event would only be slowed once on lap-16 as Ryan Unzicker would spin in turn two. The restart would see Harrison and Davenport battle for the lead with Nicely in hot pursuit, but Harrison would maintain the lead at the mid-point of the event. Nicely would move into second place in the closing laps but could never mount a charge towards race long leader Harrison. Harrison would lead all 35-laps at the Farmer City Raceway and claim his fourth series victory of 2018. Tyler Nicely would claim the second position, while Allen Weisser would complete the podium finishers. Josh Harris would end up fourth and Trent Young would complete the top five.

The remainder of the top ten at the completion of the Summit Racing Equipment A-Main at Farmer City Raceway would be “Allstar Performance Hard Charger” Michael Long, Lucas Lee, Ray Bollinger, Mike McKinney, and Tait Davenport.

The next event for the Summit Racing Equipment Modified Series will be September 1st at the Fairbury American Legion Speedway for the 6th Annual Casey’s Modified Nationals paying $10,000 to the winner.
