Chase Dowling for a division leading fourth time this season in the SK Modified® feature,
In the 40-lap SK Modified® feature event, Stephen Kopcik took the lead at the green but the field could only complete one lap before the caution came out for spins on the frontstretch by Brendon Bock and Tommy Membrino, Jr. with Austin Pickens and Eric Berndt also involved.
Kopcik again took the lead back under green but not before Michael Gervias, Jr. nearly made it 3-wide with Kopcik and Cam McDermott. Tom Abele, Jr. was fourth and Tyler Hines was fifth with Ronnie Williams and Matt Galko side by side for sixth.
McDermott took the lead from Kopcik on lap-5 with Gervais and Abele now side by side for third and Hines and Galko side by side for fifth. The caution came back out with 6 laps complete for a spin in turn 3.
Back under green, McDermott took the lead but Galko was able to pull alongside and they were side by side with Todd Owen and Kopcik side by side behind them. Hines and Keith Rocco were also side by side, making the front of the field look like a 3 row deep pace lap at race speed. Galko emerged with the lead on lap-9 with Owen taking second. McDermott slotted into third with Hines fourth and Rocco fifth. Kopcik was sixth with Chase Dowling right on his bumper in seventh.
Rocco took third from McDermott on lap-21 and Dowling followed him past to drop McDermott back to fifth in the order as Galko continued to lead Owen. Dowling took third from Rocco on lap-27 while Owen was looking high and low for a way to get around Galko for the race lead.
Dowling continued his charge towards the front as he took second from Owen on lap-33 and was now right behind Galko for the lead. Dowling took the lead from Galko on lap-35 with a pass in turn 2. Owen was third with Rocco in fourth and McDermott in fifth with 5 laps to go.
Once he got out front, Dowling began to pull away from Galko and he scored his division leading fourth win of the 2017 season. Owen finished third with Rocco and McDermott rounding out the top-5.Source: Scott Running Stafford Speedway Press Release and Track Photo
