SUNOCO Race Fuels Grand American Modified
With the SUNOCO Race Fuels Grand American Modifieds headlining the the Candlewood Suites Home Away from Home night a CNS it brought out some interesting competition in the field. Namely Super Late Model aces Kody Vanderwal and Brett Yackey who had never raced in the division before.

In the Grand American Modified fast dash Vanderwal piloted his #43 machine to a victory in his first ever race in the division.
But in the main event it was a pair of familiar faces out front after Brett Yackey and Charlie Wilson took turns leading early. Eddie and Ed Vecchiarelli have spent a lot of time out front in the Grand American Modifieds and on this night it was all 48 and 18 as they dominated the field.

Eddie took the 48 machine and settled into a groove dominating the race with only his father Ed in the 18 car within a straightaway. When the checkered flag dropped it was the Vecchiarelli’s followed by Brett Yackey in the 44y and Vanderwal in the #43. Parker Colorado’s John Seely in the #66 was the last car in the top 5.

Elite V Twin Legend Cars
It had not been since May 4th that Chris Eggleston had competed in the Legend Car division after completely destroying his car in a crash in turn two. Chris purchased a brand new car and decided to give it a test run, a decision that would eventually pay off with a huge win.

The race appeared to be in control of points leader #66 Kyle Clegg as he was setting the pace for most of the race. #15 Danny Medina and #30 Darrell J Stewart were also in the lead pack until Medina spun Stewart in turn 3 and was sent to the back. Medina’s fortunes went from bad to worse when he got caught up in a crash as he was moving back to the front.
A late race double-file restart gave Eggleston a chance at Clegg and he took advantage of it pushing his way to the front and the checkered flag. Clegg crossed the line 2nd and Stewart 3rd. #16 Travis Roe scored an impressive 4th place finish with #46 Zach Witherwax close behind.
