KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Tim Karrick took advantage of a great handling car and some lady luck on his way to a second win of the season in the USRA Modifieds Friday night at the Lakeside Speedway. Joe Cobb was running strong to begin the race until getting side-swiped by Jared Steins during a caution. While the damage looked minimal it was enough for both to fall from the race early.

Mark Schafman inherited the lead and held strong until contact with the concrete caused him to fall backward. Karrick took advantage of Schafman’s ailing car and took the lead on lap-16. From there he just had to run hard and consistent to keep current points leader Nic Bidinger and first heat winner Cody Agler from overtaking him.

They finished second and third while Jason Bodenhamer and John Allen rounded out the top 5.

The USRA B-Mods feature also saw a driver go green-white-checkered. Eventual winner Gene Claxton took command early only to find himself having to hold off last week’s winner, Brad Smith.

Smith came from the seventh starting position and would challenge for the lead until he found Jeremy Chambers looking to take second from him. Chambers raced from 15th to finish third. Current points leader Aaron Marrant had to race through the B-Main to finish fourth. Fourteen-year-old Shadren Turner held his own to round out the top 5.

“Racing on the River’s Edge” continues every Friday night through October with the USRA A-Modifieds, Grand Nationals, USRA B-Modifieds and Factory Stocks.
