In the 40-lap SK Modified® feature event, Joey Cipriano led the field to the green and he took the early lead with Todd Owen on his outside in second. Keith Rocco spun coming off turn 4 to bring the caution out with 2 laps complete. Rocco was able to rejoin at the rear of the field after a pit stop.
Cipriano again took the lead with Owen slotting into second. Eric Berndt was side by side with Ted Christohper for third and Ryan Preece and Rowan Pennink were side by side for fifth behind them. With 6 laps complete, Cipriano was pulling away from 5 rows of side by side cars. The side by side got sorted out on lap-8 with Preece getting by Berndt to move into second. Owen was fourth and Ronnie Williams was on his outside in fifth.
Preece was beginning to reel Cipriano in at the front while Owen and Williams were putting on a whale of a battle for fourth place. Williams was able to finally take the spot from Owen on lap-12 and Pennink also got by Owen to drop him back to sixth.
Preece went around Cipriano to take over the lead on lap-15. Cipriano stayed glued right to Preece’s back bumper and he made a bid for the lead in turn 4 on lap-16 but fell back into line in second. Berndt was still third with Pennink and Williams behind him.
Cipriano was keeping pace with Preece about a car length or two behind with Pennink by himself in third and Williams was hounding Berndt for fourth palce with 25 laps complete in the race.
With 10 laps to go, Preece had begun to pull away while Pennink was all over the back bumper of Williams in a fight for second. Pennink made his move on lap-32 to take over second but Preece had nearly the full length of the straightaway for a margin back to Pennink.
Preece took the checkered flag to pick up his second consecutive victory of the 2015 season. Pennink finished second with Cipriano, Williams, and Berndt rounding out the top-5. SOURCE: Scott Running Stafford Speedway Media Press Release
