Robert Tucker Tops the DIRTCar Sportsman Modifieds, Earl Maxham best in the Sportsman Coupes

Bear Ridge Speedway

With Friday night rain and some Saturday afternoon showers until post time resulted in a slightly late start but a lightning fast, tacky track for the evening.

The Sabil & Sons DIRTcar Sportsman Modifieds were brought to the green Mike Ryan and Steven Flint with Flint getting the jump and claming the lead. Ryan Christian settled into second. The front duo remained the same through a couple of cautions until Richie Simmons blasted by Christian to take second on lap ten. While Flint continued to lead a great battle for the other top five spots raged behind him with Terry Williams second and Robert Tucker third at the halfway point of the event. After a lap 21 caution Tucker moved to second and set his sights on Flint. Tucker used the fast tacky track to his advantage and claimed the lead on lap 30 with Adam Pierson third after coming form the rear, as he was the cause of the second caution of the race. Just one lap later Pierson passed Flint for second and applied intense pressure to Tucker over the last 8 laps looking both high and low but to no avail. At the checkers it was Robert Tucker with the win, Adam Pierson second, Josh Sunn third, Terry Williams fourth and DJ Robinson fifth.
