The Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series completed the final night of a three-day weekend of competition at Mansfield Motor Speedway on Sunday. North Carolina’s Kyle Strickler would capture his second win of the weekend to bank the $5000.00 pay day in his Longhorn chassis #8 entry.

The 30-lap event would see Tyler Carpenter and David Stremme lead the field to green. Carpenter would grab the early advantage off turn 2 followed closely by Stremme and fourth place starter Kyle Strickler. Strickler would quickly take over the second spot on lap-2 and begin his assault on early race leader Carpenter. Carpenter’s race lead would be short-lived as Strickler would take over the top spot on lap five. As Strickler would begin to stretch his lead, second place would heat up with a great three-car battle between Carpenter, Trent Young, David Stremme. The trio would battle for majority of the caution-free event but they would be no match for Strickler. Strickler would cruise to victory and claim his second American Modified Series victory of the 2018 season. Trent Young would take second spot and David Stremme would settle for third-place. Tyler Carpenter would end up fourth while Josh Harris would round out the top five.

The remainder of the top ten at the completion of the Summit Racing Equipment A-Main at Mansfield Motor Speedway would be KC Burdette, Joel Watson, Dan Davies, Evan Taylor, and Jerry Bowersock.

In a joint effort with Tyler County Speedway and Mansfield Motor Speedway any driver that would win two of the three events from this weekend’s events would receive a $2,000.00 Gold and Gray bonus. With his win tonight and Friday night’s Let It Ride 55 victory, Strickler would bring his weekend win total to $10,055.00!

The next event for the Summit Racing Equipment Modified Series will be July 13th at Windy Hollow Speedway. The event will pay $2,000.00 to the winner.
