On Tuesday night, the UMP Modified Series visited the Knoxville Raceway for the first time with a 60-lap feature event.
Race Winner – Michael Dullard took the lead on lap 22 and then spent the race of the race holding off Clay Snider who was all over his rear bumper, but Dullard would hang on to score his first career SARA victory.
Race Summary – Following the Pole Shuffle handicap, Nick Lancaster started the race on the pole. He would lead the first 21 laps until Michael Dullard charged up from his 8th starting spot to challenge for the top spot on lap 22.
