Bloomington, IN – September 15, 2017 – The Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series would visit Bloomington Speedway in Bloomington, IN on Friday for the Tom White and Company Real Estate 40 event and Shon Flanary of Surgoinsville, TN would make a last-lap pass to see the checkered flag first and claim a $3,500 payday.
Josh Harris would take the lead of the 40 lap, $3,500 to win event at the drop of the green flag and would maintain the race lead until the first caution of the event waved on lap sixteen for debris on the track in turn four. Shon Flanary would take the race lead on lap sixteen, but would only maintain that spot for one circuit before Harris resumed his spot on the point on lap seventeen. The only other caution of the event would wave on lap eighteen when Jeff Deckard would spin his machine in turn one. Harris and Flanary would duel for the race lead back and forth for the remainder of the event until the final lap, when Flanary would make his move coming to the checkered flag and score the victory by 0.044 seconds. Harris would settle for the runner-up position, while Danny Schwartz would earn the hard-charger award by finishing third after starting sixteenth. Trent Young would finish in the fourth position, while David Stremme would complete the top five with a fifth place finish.
The remainder of the top ten at the completion of the Tom White and Company Real Estate 40 A-Main would be Steven Brooks, Gabe Menser, Brian Shaw, Michael Turner, and Bradley Sterrett.
The next event for the Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series will be Saturday September 16 at Lincoln Park Speedway in Putnamville, IN for the 14th Annual Patriot 100, now paying $4,000 to win and $250 to start.
