Although one more contest remains in the, Dycus clinched the season-long title with his runner-up finish in Friday’s feature. A tight battle for second comes down to Saturday between Max Eddie Thomas and Michael with Thomas holding a slim seven-point advantage.

Jason Ingalls followed Dycus to the finish line while USRA Modified National Rookie of the Year Dillon McCowan held off Chris Henigan for fourth. Sean Gaddis, Thursday’s winner Kale Westover, Kenny Gaddis, Joe Duvall and Dustin ‘Tater’ Hyde rounded out the top ten.
