Fuqua, Eaton, Scott all USRA Winners on Walker Dozing Night at I-35 Speedway!!

Winston, Mo (April 8, 2017) – Starting the night of great racing action at I-35 Speedway was the always exciting E-Modified division.

First and second place form week one, Matt Dorssom #3D and heat race winner Randy Smith Jr #75X would have to start 9th and 10th in the feature and would start their charge to the front. Mercer would continue to lead as Matthew Lance #12x would challenge until contact with he and Dorssom would take Lance from contention. Dorssom would try both high and low but have nothing for Mercer. Mercer would lead from start to finish and pick up his first ever feature win and stand tall in McCarthy Auto Group Winners Circle. Dorssom would place second with Smith third. Masoner would end the night fourth with Manlee Lamar #4M a solid fifth place on the night.

Daniel Harris #07 would be in the mix the entire feature as the big mover of the race was #211 of Tim Eaton.
