Jake Nightingale won the USRA Modified main event.


Weekly racing returned to 81 Speedway Saturday night with six classes in attendance. Alternative Pest Management USRA Modifieds got back to points racing after successive national touring series visited the famed 3/8-mile facility in the previous weeks.

In Alternative Pest Management USRA Modifieds, Hutchinson driver Jake Nightingale slipped under Halstead veteran Brian Franz and then held off the hard-charging Tanner Mullens to pick up the night's "A" feature.

Nightingale, starting fifth, settled in behind Franz and Wichita’s Brendan Gemmill in the opening laps. Nightingale, using the low side of the track, powered by Gemmill and set his sights on the leader Franz.

Nightingale saw his opportunity as Franz left the door open going into turn one. Nightingale pounced and led the remainder of the caution free feature race.

Mullens, charging forward, settled for second. Franz, Treyton Gann and Gemmill rounded out the top five.

"B" feature wins went to Cheney's Beau Davis and Wichita’s Braden Stoner. Heat race wins went to Kevin Newell, Mullens, Gemmill and Franz.

Racing returns to 81 Speedway next Saturday, June 20, with Alternative Pest Management USRA Modifieds competing for $1,000 to win. Also competing will be USAC Wingless Sprint Cars, Chunky Poodle Rookie Modifieds and AutoTech Services Street Stocks. Racing begins at 7 p.m.
