Fuqua dominates USRA Modified feature at Show-Me 100


Darron Fuqua continued his strong season by leading all 30 laps of the Pitts Homes USRA Modified feature during Saturday night's 26th annual Show-Me 100 presented by ProtecttheHarvest.com in front of a capacity crowd of 8,000 fans. He earned $1,200 for his third win of the season at Lucas Oil Speedway and seventh overall.

R.C. Whitwell, who started outside Fuqua on the front row, finished second and Jason Hughes was third.

While leading every lap, Fuqua said he was worried about finding the same troubles as Owens in the late model main event when his lead suddenly was gone.

"Every lap," Fuqua said. "There was a few holes. I was worried I was going to hit something and beat a tire and maybe break something or spin it out. It was a long race. In my head, I hate leading every lap like that."

Fuqua, of Mayetta, Kan., said it's good to have momentum on his side with a strong first few months of the 2018 season.

"I just hope we can keep it going," Fuqua said. "It's just going to keep getting better from here, I think."
