In the 60-lap ISMA SuperModified event, Ben Seitz shot into the lead at the green with Mike Orway, Jr., Timmy Jedrzejek, Moe Lilje, and Otto Sitterly making up the top-5. Sitterly quickly worked his way around Lilje to move into fourth. Dave McKnight came to a stop in the middle of turns 1+2 to bring the caution out with 13 laps complete. Under the caution, Lilje lost an engine and he retired from the race.
Seitz took the lead on the restart with Jedrzejek applying heavy pressure to Ordway for second. Sitterley was fourth with Mike McVetta fifth and Jon McKennedy in sixth. Jerdzejek kept the pressure on Ordway for second and he was finally able to make a pass on lap-23 to move into second.
Seitz began to hit lapped traffic on lap-27 which allowed Jerdzejek to close right in on the back bumper of Seitz but Seitz was able to fend off his challenges and once they got through the lapped cars, Seitz was able to stretch out his lead. While this duel for the lead was going on, Sitterly moved into third with McKennedy moving up to fourth and Mike Lichty up to fifth.
With 10 laps to go, Seitz was still in command with Jedrzejek still giving chase. Sitterly was still running third with McKennedy and Lichty still behind him. Jedrzejek made a strong run in the final handful of laps and he was able to get to Seitz’s rear bumper at the the checkered flag but came up just short of taking the win. Sitterly, McKennedy, and Lichty rounded out the top-5.
Ben Seitz now has 7 career wins and the 2014 championship in the fastest touring group that makes scheduled stops on the East Coast.
