Bumper Jones won the USRA Modified feature.

Race day was fired up Saturday at the Southern New Mexico Speedway as G3 Fitness and Pine Top Construction announced they were putting a $500 bounty on Bumper Jones who had won the previous two USRA Modified main events. Barnett Harley-Davidson stepped up to the plate and announced that if Jones could win his third straight, he would get an extra $500. With 33 USRA Modifieds in the house, the energy was electric.

Donovan Flores broke intoa different zip code in Holley USRA Stock Car action. Kenny McCoy shared the front row with Boom Hower Skillin in tonight's 20-lap main event, but Flores shot to the lead on lap one and was gone. Bobby Canduso battled McCoy for runner-up, allowing Flores to run away even more. By lap four, Flores had a straight-away lead. Two cautions would fly later, but nothing stopped Flores as he picked up his third win of the season.

Ralph Adams Jr., Royal Jones, Donovan Ooley, Henry Valdez, Sherman Barnett, Brian Kleine, Max Sadler and Kevin Clark punched their ticket into the 30-lap USRA Modified feature from the last chance qualifier. Dustin Smith shared the front row with Donovan Flores in high hopes for the $500 bounty on Bumper Jones. At the green, Smith led the opening eight laps solid on the bottom with Flores fast on the outside. It was a three-wide race track with Jake Gallardo in the middle and top looking to get around Flores until Gallardo's right rear brakes expired.

At the restart, fifth place Bumper Jones had the top on the Delaware double-file restart.

"I knew they were going to be slow on the restart," said Bumper Jones, who went from fifth to the lead, but he had to work for breathing space as the field of cars was fast.

Nine laps into his lead, he had a half-straight-away lead over Flores, Smith, Zane DeVilbiss and Fito Gallardo. Lap 19 called for lapped traffic with DeVilbiss working his way into second and Fito Gallardo to third. A caution flew setting us up for an outstanding finish.

Bumper Jones had the top on lock down with DeVilbiss strong on the bottom. The next lap around the action changed as now Bumper Jones went to the bottom with Devilbiss running top shelf. Fito Gallardo then put his name in the mix as they went three wide in parts of the race track for the lead. No one stopped Bumper Jones though as he went back to back to back, picking up GRT Race Cars it's sixth win in nine races in 2017 at the Southern New Mexico Speedway.
