battle with a $1,000 to win on the line for one lucky driver at the end of
thirty laps The Preliminaries had been run, the stage had been set,the
drivers were ready.Scott Dickey and Noah Coppess brought the field around
for the waving green only to have the two drivers themselves get hooked up
Dickey breaking his steering and Coppess hitting the turn one wall hard.Once
the race was finnally started Ryan Dolan charged to the front with Dan
Chapman close behind. These two drivers ran one two through lap twenty one
when Dolan tagged the backstretch then broke his steering going into turn
three,bringing out a caution.This made a double front row of Dan Chapman and
Todd Hansen on the restart. Hansen shot out of the gate like a cannon
grabbing the lead by several car lengths over Chapman in the remaining laps
winning his first career modified victory in eleven years of racing and
