A cool spring evening made for a super-fast track on Friday night at Limaland Motorsports Park for the 18th Annual Running of Modified Mayhem. No. 53 Bobby Stremme joined his brother David as 2018 K&N Filters UMP Modified feature winners by grabbing the $1000 to win, 20 lap A Main victory. No. 59 Tracy Fritter would pick up the STARS Modified Lites feature, and No. 463 Daniel Sanchez made it 3 for 3 in Bud Thunderstock action.
Kicking off racing action were the K&N Filters UMP Modifieds. No. 16 Jeff Koz and Stremme would bring the field to green with chaos breaking out as the field exited turn 2. 7 cars would pile up, blocking the track and necessitating a red flag to clear the wreckage. On the restart, Stremme would power to the front with Koz in tow, and last week’s feature winner, No. 3W Dylan Woodling close behind. Caution would wave again for No. 21JR Tom Conrad Jr. spinning at the end of the backstretch. As the race resumed, Woodling would make his way past Koz for 2nd and set his sights on Stremme. Stremme and Woodling would trade the lead on lap 13 before Stremme would pull ahead for good. Woodling would finish 2nd over Koz, No. 45p Brian Post, and No 71 Will Norris. Koz set quick time in qualifying with a lap of 14.332 seconds. Heat races were won by No. 65 Todd Sherman, Woodling, and Stremme.
Next up were the STARS Modified Lites. The mini mods would start their feature with No. 99T Tyler Riggs and No. 98 Matt Ward on the front row. Riggs wasted no time grabbing the lead and tried to set sail on the field, but a yellow flag on lap 3 would allow the field to close back in, and No. 59 Tracy Fritter would charge to the front. Riggs would stay close and peek to the inside of Fritter multiple times before nearly spinning on lap 10, allowing Fritter to get away by nearly a full straightaway. On lap 12, No. 55 Marty Lunsford would get upside down exiting turn 2, flipping end over end and bringing out the red flag. Lunsford would walk away under his own power. On the restart Riggs would make one final run at Fritter but Fritter would hold on to pick up the victory over Riggs, Matt Ward, No. 15 Chris Robinson, and No. 20 Vivian Jones. Heat races were won by Fritter and No. 16S Rob Jones.
COmpleting the nights action were the Budweiser Thunderstocks in their 15-lap feature event. No. 87 Andy Welch and No. 463X Jordan Conover paced the field to the green flag with Conover grabbing the early lead with teammate Daniel Sanchez close behind in the No. 463. No. 82 Chris Douglas would make his way past Welch to grab 3rd on lap 2, before a big pileup in turn 4 would stop the action with defending track champion No. 26 Justin Long spinning and collecting No. 7 Dan Wooten, No. 89 Keith Shockency, and No. 99 Andy King. on the restart, Sanchez and Douglas would battle for 2nd as Conover appeared to be setting sail, but Conovers ride would start overheating, forcing him to take his car to the infield, and handing the lead to Sanchez. Douglas would hound Sanchez the final 8 laps, but come up just short, finishing 2nd, with No. 22T Tony Anderson finishing a close 3rd. No. 27 Frank Paladino would finish 4th, and UNOH Racer Scott Fritz would complete the top five in the No. 00. Heat races were won by Paladino, Anderson and Douglas.
