Rodney Sanders won the USRA Modified main event.

With a stout field of 54 cars in attendance Saturday night at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan., Rodney Sanders dueled early with Tyler Wolff, but pulled away to a convincing win.

The VP Racing Fuels checkers were his first in the inaugural season for the USRA Heartland Modified Tour presented by Real Racing Wheels.

“This car was just awesome tonight,” said Sanders in victory lane. “I knew we were pretty good when we could go to the bottom and keep up with the cushion. I gotta thank the fans for coming out tonight, there's a lot of people here. That's pretty awesome to have a show like this. This is a tough deal, there was a lot of good cars here tonight and a lot of cars total.”

Behind Sanders there was plenty of good racing. Tyler Davis stormed toward the front from tenth to finish as the evening's runner-up. He dealt with third-place finisher Jacob Hobscheidt for a large portion of the feature.

Terry Phillips and Chad Wheeler were neck-and-neck for fourth and fifth, and they finished in those positions.

The Midwest Sheet Metal Caution flew once for Tanner Mullens after he hit the wall in turn four.

Saturday's race honored the late Dalice Franz. His son, Brian Franz paced the field in a familiar #86 Modified. The family also made a $3,000 contribution to the overall series event purse as well.

Newton, Kan. residents were also admitted free of charge courtesy of Hodges Farms and Dredging.

Joe Duvall's Funkadelic Dirt Track & Honky Tonk Extravaganza takes center stage next weekend with a pair of barn-burnes on the docket. Friday the show rolls into Arrowhead Speedway in Colcord, Okla. On Saturday it shifts just down the road to Salina Highbanks Speedway in Pryor Lake, Okla.

Both shows will feature both the USRA Heartland Modified Tour presented by Real Racing Wheels and USRA American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports.

Both events will be carried live on RacinDirt.
