Anthony Flannery secured a hard-fought victory in the 40-lap SK Modified feature at Stafford Speedway on Friday, marking his first career win in the SK Modified division at the iconic half-mile track. The victory came after a dramatic finish, where Flannery managed to hold off intense pressure from Tyler Chapman in the final moments of the race.
The race was characterized by intense action, particularly in the closing laps. On the final lap, Chapman made a diving move under Flannery into turn three. Both cars made side-by-side contact through turn four, leading to a spirited battle as they headed toward the checkered flag.
The event was made even more unpredictable by the weather. Light rain began falling around the halfway point and continued steadily until the finish, adding a chaotic element to the competition. Flannery noted that the intermittent wet patches made the night an exciting spectacle.
Finishing second was Andrew Molleur of Shelton, while Tyler Chapman of Ellington claimed third place. Flannery's win was a major accomplishment, capping off a challenging season for the East Hampton driver.
