The points battle is shaping up to be a douse in the DIRTcar Bond Auto Parts Sportsman Modifieds as the current runner up in points Kevin Chaffee was able to finish strong in third and capitalize on a bad night for current points leader Adam Pierson who finished fifteen. With the heat race finished the points battle is closed up to just a three point difference. While this battle continues to develop the chase for a win each week is in full swing. This week TC Forward starting from fifth worked his way to the front to take the lead. Forward was able to hold off the challenges of Jordan Forward who had worked his way to the front from the fourteenth starting spot on the grid. Chaffee also coming from the back was able to make it as far as third before running out of time to go for the win. Josh Sunn and Robert Tucker completed the top five.<\/p>\n

For Buster Kathan it was a mere 800 feet from the checkers when in a blink of an eye his first win since 1928? went up in smoke. After leading all but one lap during the race holding off the Squirrel Earl Maxham lapped traffic coming out of turn four gave Maxham on the outside just enough to get by Kathan. When they came out of turn two Maxham was clear of Kathan and went on to steal the win. Kathan held on to the bridesmaid spot. Thomas Placey grabbed the final victory lane spot, with Todd Hayward and Michael Danforth completing the top five.<\/p>\n
