The Sunoco Modifieds started off the evening and resulted in yet another battle between two of the best drivers in the division. After handing Keith Rocco his first loss of the year in July, Ryan Preece continued
to be the biggest threat to the points leader and reining division champion as the two drivers were nose to tail for most of the 30-lap feature. Both drivers worked their way to the top three by the end of the third lap before a caution on lap four gave Keith
Rocco the opportunity to take the lead on a restart. Preece remained on Rocco’s bumper eventually working the bottom line of the track in an attempt to gain an edge on his rival. Rocco however would not be denied and charged his way to yet another win in the
Sunoco Modifieds, his fourth of the season in five events.
For the defending champion it was business as usual. “(Preece) was running the bottom and he was probably on the free side,” Rocco said after his victory. “We had a really good car today and I just did what
we do. We were able to stay up front and keep them behind us.” Source: Thompson Speedway Media Press Release
