Jake Gallardo and Jimmy Ray took home the hardware Friday night as the Southern New Mexico Speedway hosted the first of a two-night weekend doubleheader during the annual Southern New Mexico State Fair.

In the 25-lap USRA Modified feature race, Jake Gallardo turned the tables and picked up the win over his father, Fito Gallardo. Zane DeVilbiss passed eight cars en route to a third-place finish while Royal Jones bested his son, Bumper Jones, for fourth.

In the Holley USRA Stock Cars, Jimmy Ray was a man on a mission as he roared from the 21st starting spot to claim the victory ahead of 15th-starting Nathan Smith. Aasa-Boo Flores was third, points leader Jaime Torres finished fourth and Pete Vargas came from 18th on the grid to claim the fifth spot.
