In the 40-lap SK Modified® feature event, Tyler Hines took the lead at the drop of the green flag with Dan Avery moving into second. Eric Berndt went around Mike Christopher, Jr. to take third and Keith Rocco followed in Berndt’s tire tracks to take fourth.
Avery made a move to the inside of Hines on lap-5 and he completed the pass to take the lead on lap-6. Berndt took second from Hines on lap-7 and he nearly took the lead from Avery but Berndt backed out and he fell back into line in third. Rocco went to the outside of Berndt on lap-9 but fell back into a side by side duel with Michael Gervais, Jr. for fourth place. Todd Owen was now on the outside of Gervais on lap-10 as Rocco was clear into fourth behind Avery, Berndt, and Hines.
Berndt made a move to the inside of Avery to take over the lead with a pass in turn 4 on lap-13. Gervais was working over the back bumper of Rocco for fourth place and he took fourth from Rocco on lap-15. Owen followed him through as Rocco fell back to sixth.
Berndt was beginning to stretch out his lead as Avery and Gervais were nose to tail in second and third. Owen was fourth and Ryan Preece was fifth with 11 laps to go. Berndt had nearly a full straightaway lead but Gervais, Avery, Owen, Preece, and Hines were lined up in a train of cars behind him. Preece was hounding Owen for fourth place but Owen was able to fend off his challenges.
Berndt cruised to his first victory of the 2015 season with Gervais, Avery, Owen, and Preece rounding out the top-5.
Ryan Preece finished fifth and for the second consecutive week took a big bite out of Rowan Pennink’s points lead in the division. Preece’s fifth place, coupled with a 17th place for Pennink meant Pennink’s 36 point lead coming into the night was cut to 12 points with one event remaining at the NAPA Fall Final on Oct. 4.
