In the 40-lap SK Modified® feature event, Todd Owen took a trip through the infield on the frontstretch but the race stayed green with Ted Christopher taking the early lead. Tyler Hines took a spin through the infield grass but the race stayed green.
Christopher held the lead until lap-7 when Keith Rocco moved to the front. Rocco’s move opened the door for Rowan Pennink to follow him by. Pennink moved to the lead on lap-13 and behind him, Joey Cipriano made contact with Rocco which sent Rocco spinning off turn 2 and brought the caution out. Cipriano was sent to the rear of the field for the contact with Rocco. This put Christopher back alongside Pennink for the restart with Ryan Preece and Woody Pitkat in the second row.
Pennink took the lead at the green but when the cars hit turn 3, Pennink drifted up the track, which gave Preece enough room to make a pass for the lead. Mike Christopher, Jr spun to bring the caution out with 14 laps complete.
Preece took the lead back under green and the action was wild at the front as Pennink held off a furious charge from both Christopher and Ronnie Williams. David Webb spun on the backstretch to bring the caution out with 16 laps complete.
Preece and Pennink resumed their duel for the lead on the restart with Christopher taking third in front of a side by side Williams and Pitkat. Pennink made a move to the inside of Preece for the lead on lap-19 but Preece was able to hold him off. Pennink remained side by side with Preece and he took the lead on lap-22 but the caution came out with 21 laps complete for Jeremy Sorel, who ended up in the turn 1 wall and Todd Owen, who came to a stop against the wall in turn 2.
Pennink took the lead back under green with Preece staying glued to his back bumper. Pitkat moved up to third with Joey Cipriano back up to fourth after his earlier penalty and Matt Galko was running in fifth. Preece settled in for a couple of laps and then on lap-30 he was right back on Pennink’s bumper, looking to make a pass for the race lead. Behind the two leaders, Cipriano was beginning to look on the inside of Pitkat to move into the third position, but Pitkat was able to hold him off.
Preece looked high and he looked low but he wasn’t able to make a pass as Pennink nailed down his sixth win of the 2015 season. Pitkat finished third, with Cipriano and Williams rounding out the top-5.Source: Scott Running Stafford Speedway Media Press Release and Track Photos
