WARRENSBURG, Mo. -- A warm but pleasant night for race fans and drivers was the recipe for success at Central Missouri Speedway on KDKD 95.3 Radio Night. Jim Moody motored back to the front to win his fourth feature in the USRA Modified class.

Each week the heat races at CMS bring close racing with drivers attempting to gain valuable passing points to set their main event starting spots. On Saturday evening Brian Johnson from Independence, Danny Scrogham from Peculiar and Eddie Bray of Archie worked hard to gain their respective USRA Modified heat race wins.

Brian Johnson has been stepping up his racing and it showed again Saturday as he led the early part of the USRA Modified feature with “high side” Terry Schultz unusually using the low side attempting to move past Johnson. By lap 10, Schultz worked his magic on the high side to grab the lead with Scrogham, Dean Wille and Dalton Kirk looking fast in the top five. Schultz, Johnson and then Wille occupied the front spots with Jim Moody, who started ninth, patiently moving into the top four by lap 17.

Schultz appeared to be on his way to a second consecutive victory but Moody grabbed the lead on the low side on lap 20 restart. It appeared the top side went away for Schultz as Moody kept the USRA modified championship points battle close by claiming his fourth victory at CMS this year. Schultz hung on for second, Kirk made a late charge to third; Wille looked strong in fourth with Gunner Martin rounding out the top five.

Next week, weekly racing continues with the USRA Modifieds, Street Stocks, B-Modifieds, Pure Stocks and Grand Nationals.
