In the 40-lap SK Modified® feature, Glen Reen took the early lead from the pole with Ronnie Williams second, Keith Rocco third, Josh Wood fourth, and Dan Avery fifth.  Avery got around Wood to take fourth on lap-3 with Michael Gervais, Jr. taking fifth as Wood was slowly fading back outside the top-10.
Williams went to the lead on lap-5 with Rocco moving up to second as Reen fell back to third in line.  Avery was fourth and Matt Galko got around Gervais to take over fifth. 
Avery got out of shape on lap-12 and he fell back to the rear of the field as Williams was still out front.  Rocco took the lead from Williams on lap-13 and the caution came out with 14 laps complete as Reen spun coming out of turn 4. 
Rocco took the lead back under green with Christopher moving into second.  The caution came back out with 16 laps complete for a spin in turns 3+4 by Matt Galko.
Rocco and Christopher resumed their duel for the lead on the restart but it only lasted one lap before the caution came back out for a spin in turn 2 by Tom Bolles. 
On the restart, Cam McDermott touched wheels with another car which sent him up and over the car in front of him and several cars got into the turn 3 wall to bring the caution back out before a lap could be completed.
Rocco took the lead with Christopher right on his bumper.  Christopher made a move to Rocco’s inside in turns 3+4 on lap-18 to move into the lead.  Todd Owen was up to third and he pulled alongside Rocco for second on lap-19.  Owen got clear on lap-21 and Tony Membrino, Jr. was now fourth with Williams in fifth.  Gervais spun coming out of turn 4 and Reen came to a stop on the frontstretch infield after taking an off track excursion to bring the caution out with 23 laps complete.
Christopher took the lead on the restart with Owen right on his back bumper.  Rocco was third with Membrino in fourth and Williams in fifth.  Owen was all over Christopher’s back bumper and he nearly made a pass coming out of turn 4 on lap-28 but he had to back out of his move which gave Rocco all the room he needed to take second from Owen. 
With 10 laps to go, Christopher led Rocco, Owen, Membrino, Williams, Galko, Rowan Pennink, and Chase Dowling.  Owen went around Rocco to take over second on lap-33 and then Rocco’s car dropped off the pace and he limped back to pit road. 
Christopher and Owen now had a comfortable margin back to Williams in third, who now had Dowling in fourth and Pennink in fifth behind him.  Christopher led Owen to the checkered flag to pick up his fifth win of the 2017 season and second consecutive.  Williams finished third with Dowling and Pennink rounding out the top-5.
