Brownstown, IL (May 27, 2018): The Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series returned to action on Sunday evening at the Fayette County Speedway. Trent Young of Crofton, KY would lead wire-to-wire and score the $3,000 main event victory in his 10y Pierce Platinum Chassis.
Trent Young would jump to the lead at the start of the 35-lap, $3,000 main event and would never look back to capture his second series win of the 2018 season. Mike Harrison would stalk Young throughout the entire main event as both drivers navigated traffic; however, Young would hold Harrison at bay during the caution-free event. Harrison would claim the runner-up position with Tyler Nicely completing the podium finishers with a third-place finish. Brian Shaw and Josh Harris would complete the top five.
The remainder of the top ten at the completion of the Summit Racing Equipment A-Main at Fayette County Speedway would be Tait Davenport, Danny Schwartz, Brent Mullins, McKay Wenger, and Michael Bolyard.
The next event for the Summit Racing Equipment Modified Series will be June 1-2 at Tyler County Speedway for the $15,000 to win Mega 100.
