Tim Jordan Shows Muscle in SK Modified® Throwdown; Andrew Molleur on Top in Late Model Photo Finish
WATERFORD – Paul Buzel launched at the drop of the green strong, leading the SK Modified® event for over 10 laps uncontested. Tim Jordan broke from his 6th place starting spot and light contact between the leaders opened the door for Jordan and Eric Berndt to put on a show. With Jordan controlling the preferred groove, Berndt did not let up on his attacks connecting nerf bars on several occasions. The two veterans kept their cars pointed in the right direction setting the pace, all while Anthony Flannery was dicing his way through the field from the last place starting spot. A pile up with 7 to go opened the door for Flannery to dive into 2nd over Berndt, neither driver could take down Jordan for the top spot.
