Randal Schiffelbein Jr. won the USRA Modified main event.

Capitalizing on a redraw and pulling the number one chip at intermission, Randal Schiffelbein Jr. found himself in the cat bird's seat for the start of Friday's 30-lap Wehrs Machine feature starring the USRA Heartland Modified Tour presented by Real Racing Wheels

He showed enough speed throughout to stay there as well, winning the biggest race of his career to this point. The win came on the 13th stop of the season for the series, and first ever in Butler, Mo.

“I haven't won in a couple years, but this makes up for all the hard work,” said Schiffelbein in victory lane. “I've flipped a car, blew motors up. I can't believe it. I just drove the crap out of the top and that's all I could really do.”

Behind Schiffelbein., the points race was on as Tyler Wolff and Chad Wheeler went wheel-to-wheel for a large potion of the event.

Wolff bettered Wheeler by one spot, however, and those two rounded out the podium. Rodney Sanders and Paden Phillips completed the top five.

There were a few big movers during the race. Tanner Mullens passed 12 cars to finish seventh and Gary Christian advanced 13 spots, finishing 11th.

 Early heat race wins went to Schiffelbein, Wheeler, Mike Striegel and Lance Mari.

Wolff still leads the HMT championship standings.

On Saturday the show moves down the road to the Nevada Speedway for another $2,000-to-win event. On Sunday, the Keyser Manufacturing Larry Phillips Memorial presented by Schoenfeld and Wehrs Machine commences at the Monett Motor Speedway.
