Tad Davis won the USRA Modified main event.

At the Lucas Oil Speedway on Saturday night, winners during Vietti Marketing Group Night featuring the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series were Tad Davis (USRA Modifieds), James McMillin (Medieval USRA Stock Cars) and Andy Bryant (USRA B Mods).

Davis set the pace for all 20 laps to pick up his first victory of the season in the USRA Modifieds.

Davis, of Mount Hope, Kan., held off a hard-charging Ryan Middaugh for the victory after a late restart left the outcome in some doubt.

"That was a long, hard race," Davis said. "The track was very aggressive tonight. That wore me out. I'm just glad to finally get a win here. We've been trying for a long time. It just feels really good."

Davis started on the pole and jumped out to an early command, leading Dylan Hoover by 1.5 seconds five laps into the 20-lapper. The lead grew to 2.6 seconds by the halfway mark with Ryan Middaugh getting around Hoover for second.

With action remaining caution-free, Davis had to weave through lapped traffic to maintain his lead and Middaugh began to whittle into the margin. It was down to .601 seconds by lap 16.

Davis appeared on his way to holding off Middaugh on what was to be the final lap when a caution for a stopped car brought on a caution. That set up a one-lap shootout for the win.

Davis had a terrific restart and drove to the win, finishing 0.458 seconds in front of Middaugh with Gary Christian third, Wyatt Gaggero fourth and Jason Pursley in fifth.

"I didn't want to see that last caution," Davis said. "But I had a little bit of juice left in me to finish one more lap."

Medieval USRA Stock Car win to McMillin: James McMillin of Warrensburg cruised to nearly a half-lap victory in the Medieval USRA Stock Cars for his first Lucas Oil Speedway win of the season.

"I was hooked up on the bottom and I just stayed there," McMillin said after he finished nearly seven seconds in front of runner-up Mason Beck.

Third-starting McMillin led through the early going and sported a 2.1-second lead over Christopher Sawyer when the caution flag flew on lap four. McMillin once again opened a big league after the restart as a cluster of five cars battled for second, three seconds behind him.

Taking advantage of an extended green-flag run, McMillin continued to pour it on and was 5.6 seconds clear of Mason Beck by lap 14. As the laps clicked by, McMillin found himself all alone with his margin 6.9 seconds over Beck with Rob White third, Rodney Schweizer fourth and Waylon Dimmitt fifth.

Johnny Fennewald of Appleton City, the winner of the previous USRA Stock Cars feature two weeks ago, took a wild, tumbling ride into turn three on lap two. His car settled, wheels-up, leaning against the catch fence - but Fennewald walked away from the accident.

Action was halted for about 20 minutes during the red flag to remove Fennewald’s torn-up car.

Bryant claims USRA B-Mod win: Andy Bryant of Fort Scott, Kan., took the lead midway through the 20-lap Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature and went on to hold off Lucas Oil Speedway division points leader Bobby Williams.

Bryant claimed his first victory of the season at Wheatland, beating Williams by 1.8 seconds at the finish.

"It's been too long," Bryant said of his return to victory lane. "I have to thank my crew and my dad for giving me one hell of a hot rod. I want to thank all my sponsors. They all do so much for me and this car wouldn't be nearly as competitive without them."

Williams and Bryant started on the front row and Williams grabbed the lead at the start. He opened up a one-second margin over Bryant by lap six as the leaders caught up to lapped traffic, with Ryan Gillmore close behind in third.

Bryant was able to edge past Williams on the low side in turns three and four, in the midst of the traffic, to take over the lead on lap 10. Just one second separated the top three through lap 15 as the race continued without a caution.

By lap 17, Bryant opened up a one-second lead over Gillmore as Williams dropped to third. He continued to stretch out the margin over the final three laps and wound up prevailing by about eight car lengths over Williams with Gillmore third.

Dayton Pursley finished fourth with J.C. Morton fifth in a race that ran caution free and took only six minutes and seven seconds.
