The starting 8 Modifieds

Mark Williams won his third Modified main in a row and fourth of the season this week after taking 6 segment wins in the Holiday special 25 lappers.  Williams ran the GTB car to wins on lanes 2 through 7 in another spirited battle with up and coming Cory Reinhard.  Cory finished second for the second straight Modified event in his fast Modified wrenched by Dad Toby.  The younger Reinhard was very consistent with only 9 falloffs in his score of 196.34 including 4 segment wins.  It only looks like a matter of time until Cory breaks into the winners circle.
