Last Tuesday night, the Modifieds took on the Outer configuration of Irwindale for a 100-lap event.

Race Summary – Michael Goddard used the invert to start out front and led the opening 21 laps of the race. Jimmy Mullis was able to use the outside groove to his advantage after a restart however, and moved himself up into the lead. After surviving a few incidents prior to halfway, Conner Blaise began charging to the front to battle Mullis for the lead. Blaise worked to the inside of Mullis for nearly 10 laps before completing the pass, and eventually went on to pick up his 2nd win of the season.
