Pontoon Beach, IL (September 22nd, 2016) Opening night of the 12th Annual Summit Racing Equipment Modified Mania at Tri-City Speedway lived up to expectation with a spectacular feature that ended with the top two in the UMP DIRTcar National point standings finishing first and second. A huge field of 74 cars were on hand to fight it out for the $3,000 winner’s prize.

Mike Harrison jumped to the lead at the drop of the green flag, but Michael Long took over the top spot from Harrison on lap two. Fighting off Harrison for most of the event and then Chad Kinder moved in to battle for the lead about the half way point. Kinder actually got the lead for several laps before Long fought back and regained the lead. Harrison would move back in to challenge Long for the top spot as they worked lapped traffic. Shannon Babb, who was pulling double duty by driving his brother-in-law’s UMP DIRTcar Modified, made it a three-way battle for the lead late in the race.

Michael Long would capture the $3,000 victory over Mike Harrison. Shannon Babb would take the third spot with Chad Kinder taking fourth. Rick Stevenson would round out the top five. The UMP DIRTcar Nationals Championship race didn’t change with the top two contenders. Michael Long’s win replaced a previous finish and gained him 5 additional points while Harrison’s second place finish gained him an additional five points. So Michael Long remains 23 points ahead of Mike Harrison in the UMP DIRTcar Modified National Point Standings.

Two more nights of Mod Mania are left with action tonight, Friday, September 23rd and the finale on Saturday, September 24th.
