Springfield,Mo.-Despite an early afternoon rain shower,holiday action went on at the Quick-Quarter of the SpringfieldRaceway as the racing action was fast,furious and outstanding as the Budweiser A-Mods were battling for a $1,000 to win payday.
A-Mod feature action saw defending track champion Jackie Dalton of Carthage set on the pole with Mitch Keeter flanked on his outside.At the drop of the green,Dalton jumped to the early lead with Keeter following only to see the yellow wave as Rocky Berliew,Brian Green,Bobby Pearish and Jerry Lankton got together causing a restart.On the restart,Dalton again jumped to the lead with Keeter close behind while Jesse Stovall moved to the high groove along with Jody Tillman and Turkey Classic winner Steve Martin.

With Dalton setting a quick pace on the racy wide track,Stovall pulled even with Keeter as they ran side by side.Dalton was pulling away until lap 5 when the car came to a slow halt while leading.This pit Stovall in the lead as Keeter was going to make the low groove work as Tillman,Martin and a fast moving Brian Green.With Stovall pulling away on the top side,Keeter started to close-up during the green run.Steve Martin went by the wayside on lap 14 ending his strong run.On lap 20,Ketter was gaining on Stovall as Stovall was working lapped traffic while Tillman,Green and a fast moving Rocky Breliew were battling as two wide side by side racing was throughout the pack.On lap 22,Stovall's lead was getting smaller,but then Stovall cleared traffic and went on to grab the $1,000 to win points race with Keeter,Tillman,Green and Breliew completing the top 5.Point leader Erik Maggard fell out early after having issues with the water pump while leading his qualifying heat earlier in the evening changing the current standings.
SportMod action saw another new winner as Eric Tinderholt took the lead on lap 3 from early pacesetter Gary Rodocker and withstood a late race challange from veteran Wayne Graybeal to take his first win of the season.Graybeal showed patience after starting the feature in row 4 to position himself to challange for the point lead as a 4 car collison involving point leader Sean Williams,Bobby Maggard Jr,Roy Maynard and Brad Moad took Williams out of action.Following the lead duo and the top GM Crate Motor finisher was JC Morton who had just switched to the Reliable Chevrolet 602 GM Crate Motor.Morton started 13th while 4th place finisher Wes Long came from his 15th starting spot with early leader Rodocker rounded out the top 5.
The LegendCar feature saw three and sometimes four wide racing as point leader Justin Comer shot from the 5th starting spot with Rob Watson hot on his heels along with Dave Bauer,Dave Comer,Park Jones and Chuck Comer all swapping the spots.While Justin Comer would all 20 laps,it wasn't easy as Dave Comer really applied pressure the final 2 laps with Justin Comer just barely hanging on for the win.Following the winner to the line was Dave Comer,Dave Bauer,Rob Watson and a fast movingChuck Comer.
Defending StreetStock champoin Robert High grabbed the lead on the opening lap and never looked back in grabbing the feature win leaving the field to battle for the runner-up spot.Veteran Bob Maggard Sr and Randy High really put on a classic battle for the second place spot before Maggard hung on to secure the spot with Randy High,point leader Jack Hamer and Jesse Barton rounding out the top 5.
The MidWest Modz feature provided lots of excitement and action as Bobby Gough to the opening lead with Lamar Neuman following closely.With Gough setting a quick pace the field was 2 and 3 wide as point leader Kaleb Copher,Jeremy Manes, and JC Newell were battling.With Gough still in front,Trever Drake and Neuman battled for second as 3 wide action followed behind.On lap 7,Neuman and Drake made contact with Neuman spinning.This bunched the field up as Manes now challanged the leader Gough as Copher started his charge.On lap 12,Copher took over the top spot as Manes was applying pressure to the new leader,but Copher withstood the pressure to grab the win with Manes,early leader Gough,Drake and Newell completing the top 5.
Matt Thulin grabbed the opening lead and never looked back in capturing the PureStock feature over Doug Testerman,Chris Woodruff and Terry Coussins.
