Tyler Davis won the USRA Modified main event.

In front of a large crowd Friday night at Lucas Oil Speedway, the USRA Heartland Modified Tour presented by Real Racing Wheels delivered a showcase performance.

Dakota Dale redrew the pole for the 25 lap feature but Tad Davis, who fired from his outside, jumped to the lead and masterfully navigated the track and lapped traffic for the majority of the race.

With five laps left Davis jumped over the berm exiting turn four. His misfortune allowed Tyler Davis (no relation) to pounce and assume the point.

The two-time and defending Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series National Champion in the USRA Modifieds never looked back in the closing circuits and scored his first series win.

The feature ran green to checkered with 26 cars starting the race.

“Man it was good to get a win here at Lucas Oil,” said Tyler Davis following the race. “Running the USMTS tour, we haven't won many races this year, so it's easy to get down on yourself. It's always awesome to come here, but tonight it's on another level with the High Limit Series.

"I have to thank J.R. and Kati Sartain, FOE Racing, Rick Beebe Heating & Air Conditioning, Central Spray Foam, Gerber Collision, Hodges Farms & Dredging, TDS Suspension, BSB Manufacturing and the Heartland Tour and Lucas Oil Speedway for putting this race together.”

The victory was worth $2,000 for Tyler Davis.

Tad Davis ultimately settled in as the runner-up while Gabe Hodges was quietly strong all night and finished third.

Chad Wheeler was near the front all night, finishing fourth, with Kenton Allen scoring his first top five in series action.

Heat race wins went to Dale, Tad Davis and Wheeler while Joe Duvall scored the evening's Hard Charger Award with a run from 22nd to finish sixth.

Sigg Tire & Repair from Iola, Kan., put up $100 each night this weekend for the biggest mover of the event.
