KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- It’s been said you only have to lead the last lap to win a race. Friday night at the Lakeside Speedway, Nic Bidinger proved you only have to lead the last couple feet to win a USRA Modfied race.

Bidinger started sixth and worked his way through the field, and by lap 24 he was up to second.

Aaron Marrant, who had led every lap thus far, was the last car in his sights. With a slingshot move to the inside of Marrant and coming to the checkers, Bidinger was able to carry enough momentum to cross the finish line first.

Jason Bodenhamer and Terry Schultz battled hard to finish third and fourth while Cody Agler rounded out the top 5.

Brad Smith’s trophy celebration was extra special tonight as he notched his 100th career victory.

The USRA B-Mod feature win wasn’t a given as he started tenth and had a tough field ahead of him. It wasn’t until lap 9 that Smith was able to battle for, and take, the lead from Jake Richards.

Richards wound up fourth behind Chad Clancy and Royce Stanley. Nick Newton rounded out the top 5.

“Racing on the River’s Edge” continues every Friday night through October with the USRA Modifieds and USRA B-Mods, plus Grand Nationals and Factory Stocks.  Gates open at 5 p.m., hot laps start at 6:45 and the first race gets under way at 7:30.

Adult ticket prices are $12, kids 7-12 are $6 and children 6 and younger are admitted free. Seniors and military personnel with ID are admitted for $10.
