FLIPPIN, Ark. -- Near perfect conditions greeted the fans and drivers arriving at North Central Arkansas Speedway this Friday night, and the on track action continued to entertain those in attendance.

Eleven cars came charging hard off of turn four to take the green flag of the USRA Modified feature race with John Briggs holding the pole position and Ray Flippin outside the front row.

At the end of the first lap it was Briggs on top of the scoreboard, with Flippin and Joey Smith locked in close quarters pursuit.

Flippin moved to the front on the second lap, followed by Smith moving into the second spot as Briggs dropped to third in the running order.

Lap three saw Logan Martin begin his charge up through the field as he grabbed fourth away from Jason Snodgrass, and by lap eight Martin had moved up to the lead.

Smith brought out the first of two yellow flags in the event with a solo spin on lap 9, bunching the field for the restart with Martin leading Briggs and Flippin back up to speed.

Marvin Forrest began the race at the back of the field and on the restart moved from fifth to third before grabbing second on lap 10.

Rob Muilenburg also started at the rear of the pack for the feature race but patiently worked through traffic to take home third place with a pass on lap 19.
