The Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series returned to action on Friday evening at the Tyler County Speedway. Kyle Strickler would lead wire-to-wire and score the $3,055 main event victory in his 8k Longhorn Chassis.
Kyle Stricker would jump to the lead at the start of the 55-lap, $3,055 main event followed closely by David Stremme before the first of four cautions would fly for RJ Otto on lap six. The restart would see Kyle Strickler rocket back to the lead and begin to show his dominance through the early stages of the event. As the event moved past the midway point, Strickler would begin navigate lap traffic; however, nothing would slow down Strickler as he would lead every lap in route to the series victory. David Stremme would take runner-up honors, while Joel Watson completed the podium finishers with a third place effort. Jacob Hawkins 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 Tyler County Speedway would be Jeff Mathews, Ryan Ayers, Chris Arnold, Lucas Lee, and Jesse Wisecarver.
The next event for the Summit Racing Equipment Modified Series will be June 30th at Tyler County Speedway for the $15,000 to win Mega 100.
