John Davis

After he qualified seventh, things didn't look good for Jeff Chumley of Keavy to continue his winning streak in the WKFC-FM Modified Mini Series, but he and his crew apparently found more speed in the Reelz Video & Tanning Nissan Sentra No. 4.

Chumley won his heat race, then drove to the lead in six laps and took his fourth straight feature win and fifth of the year in the main event.

After a couple of aborted original starts, Clifford Wagers of Barbourville took the lead in the Wagers Auto Parts Ford Escort No. 37, with Mark Lester of London challenging.

Lester got his Paul Harvey Race Engines Chevette No. 79 past on the inside after two laps, but led only one trip around before there was contact between his car and Wagers' vehicle as they headed for the third turn on the fourth lap.

Lester reverse spun into the outside wall and was out for the night with race damage, while Wagers was sent to the rear for the restart.

Steve Decker of Williamsburg was on the inside for the double file alignment in his DMS Racing Ford Escort No. 25, with Chumley alongside.

Chumley got the lead when the green flag came out, and was in front from that point on except for one more restart from a caution flag. This time he was on the inside and Decker outside.

Chumley pulled away to a led of almost two seconds before the checkered flag came down, with Decker placing second.

Nathaniel Harrison of Lily, moving up from the Mitchell Foods Mini-Slammer Series, took third place in the Bandit Speed Shop Honda Prelude No. 9, and Wagers came back to take fourth.

Scottie Smith of Manchester was fifth driving the Hibbard's Fencing Chevette No. 2, with Joseph Dugger taking sixth in his Reelz Video & Tanning Ford Escort No. 5.

Based on laps completed, the remainder of the finish, in order, was made up of Mark Lester, Jordan Martin of Corbin in the Felts Music Place Toyota Celica No. 77x, Robert Minton of Williamsburg and the Minton Racing Ford Escort No. 16, Joseph Knuckles of Keavy driving the T&H Towing Ford Escort No. 20, Brandon Tussey of Lily and the Taylor Logging Honda Prelude No. T22, Adam Gregory of Gray with the Friends of Coal Hyundai Tiburon No. 22, and Mike Lester of Corbin with the Johnny's Muffler Shop Chevette No. 79.

Michael Hale of Corbin and his MH Auto Repair Nissan Sentra No 72 were unable to start because of mechanical problems.

Martin, Knuckles, and Tussey were also competitors moving up from the Mini-Slammer series.

Mark Lester was the fast qualifier with a clocking of 15.600 seconds, and Gregory won both the trophy dash and first heat.
