The Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series would visit the Fayette County Speedway on Sunday night to conclude the Memorial Day Weekend swing the State of Illinois. Kenny Wallace would take the checkered flag in his Lethal Chassis in the make-up event from the April 13th rain-out. Wallace would hold off several challenges from Mike Harrison and Trent Young throughout the event. Wallace’s only scare would come with two laps remaining as he jumped the cushion in turn-two that would allow Young to assume the lead going into turn three. Before the lap could be completed the yellow flag would fly for the slow vehicle of Joey Lee. Wallace would maintain the lead due to the timely caution and lead the final circuits to collect the $2,000 pay day and his first series victory of the 2019 season. Trent Young would place in second and Josh Harris would finish in third. Rounding out the top five would be Mike Harrison and Jacob Rexing.
The remainder of the top ten at the completion of the Summit Racing Equipment A-Main at Fayette County Speedway would be Michael Bolyard, Brian Shaw, Marty Lindeman, Trey Harris, and Chris Cole.
The second A-Main event of the evening would once again see Wallace continue his strong run leading the first 25 laps of the 35-lap event. Cautions throughout the event would allow Tyler Nicely to close the gap and attempt to dethrone Wallace’s stranglehold on the competition. Nicely would be successful and assume the lead on lap-26. Nicely piloting his Elite Chassis would lead the final ten laps of the event to become the first repeat winner of the 2019 season. Josh Harris would sneak by Wallace late in the event to score the second position and Wallace would settle for third. Brian Shaw would place fourth and Danny Schwartz would round out 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 Trent Young, Marty Lindeman, Trey Harris, Tommy Sheppard, and Jeffrey Ledford.
