Parity Leads The Way In AMRA Modified Division At Tyler County

The 2 Brothers Motorsports AMRA Modified’ division would see an impressive 11 different winners in 16 events, and read like a “who’s who” for regional Modified stars. A quick rundown of the previous season would see rising national star Jacob Hawkins of Fairmont, WV lead the way with five wins, cruising to the 2016 AMRA and Renegades of Dirt point championships. Lance Elson’s two wins made him the only other Modified driver to enter victory lane multiple times. Jesse Wisecarver cashed in with the 5th Annual ‘Let it Ride 55’ win paying a handsome $5,555 to win, while former EDGE Hotmod ace Chad Smith would pick up the traditional 12th Annual Dickson Classic.
