The evening started with some of the best Mighty Modified heat races at CMS this year with drivers passing by running in between others and running side by side out of turn four for several finishes. It took five heat races and 2 B Mains to sort out the field of 43 modifieds. Jason Hughes drove home with the big money from the Tom Wilson Memorial after some early race cautions. He eventually worked around Jimmy Dowell who held the early lead and Kyle Westerhold who finished second. USMTS driver, Dean Mahlstedt from Clear Lake, Iowa spun his car on lap 4 after climbing up from the tail of the field after a B-main 2nd place finish. Moving Dave Meyer then passed the race leader Dowell, but just as he passed him Meyer’s car broke and he had to leave the track. Meyer along with Dennis Walrath and Justin Boney had to leave the track with various problems on lap 5.
Then on lap 9 early season hot driver Joe Bradshaw was in the top 4 when his car had mechanical problems. This additional caution bunched up the field again with Hughes now in third and his sights set on the lead. Hughes was moving up and starting to pick off drivers on most every lap while working the high side of the track with great success. Finally on lap 10 he passed Dowell gaining the lead and never relinquished it again.
Kyle Westerhold also drove hard and moved up to the front as he passed Dowell on lap 18 and completed his best finish of the year in second place after starting in the in the 12th position. Dean Mahlstedt originally started from the final row after making it from the last chance B-Main feature to finish 3rd for the hard-charger award of the night. And his finish was more amazing after considering he spun out on lap 4 and returned to the tail end again.
Other strong finishes came from CMS regulars Charles Laizure and David Angell along with Jake Richards and Kevin Sloan from the B-Main into the top ten. Chad Lyle was also in the top four challenging for third until his car gave out with just 3 laps to go in the race.
