WARRENSBURG, Mo.--The Warrensburg area finally caught a reprieve from Mother Nature Saturday night and Central Missouri Speedway roared back to life with a total of 85 drivers on hand. The race program consisted of USRA Modifieds, Street Stocks, Lightning Sprints, B-Mods, and Pure Stocks on Cliff Harris Warrensburg Ford, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram night at the races.

The night featured a total of 18 events, which wrapped up just after 10 p.m. When all was said and done, Tim Karrick claimed his second-consecutive USRA Modified main event.

Last to compete for the night was the USRA Modified division with 24 cars on hand. A pair of Kansans dominated heat one as John Allen beat Justin Johnson to the line for the win. Heat two went to Robbie Test of Jefferson City over Shad Badder. Tim Karrick of Basehor, Kansas claimed heat three over Jim Moody, who finally seemed to turn his luck around.

John Allen and Robbie Test earned the front row starting positions by accumulating the most passing points in the preliminary heat races. Karrick and Johnson started in row two with Badder and Moody side-by-side in row three once the 25-lap main event went green. Test and Karrick had a classic battle swapping the lead a few times within the first five laps until Karrick found his preferred line to take sole possession of the lead with Test dropping back to second.

A yellow flag flew for a slowing Lewis Jackson on lap seven as the field regrouped for the restart. Karrick then led Badder, Test, Moody, Allen, and Terry Schultz inside the top five. By lap eight, Badder was doing everything he could to challenge Karrick but Karrick began pulling away until another caution a few laps later waived over the filed.

For the lap 9 restart Karrick led Badder, Moody, Schultz, Allen, and Test. Brian Johnson and Gunner Martin got together in turn four to draw a caution but thankfully both drivers were able to return to the event for the final laps. Karrick led Badder and Moody, who had a classic battle going for second behind the leader.

Several green flag laps were clicked off by the ‘Mighty’ Modified drivers with Karrick never missing a beat at the front of the field despite Moody and Badder doing all they could to catch him. In the end, Karrick claimed his second straight CMS win of the year ahead of Badder, Moody, Schultz, and former track champion Aaron Marrant in fifth. Rounding out the top ten were, Allen, Dalton Kirk, Test, Matt Johnson, and Danny Scrogham.

Next week once again features another weekly racing program at CMS featuring USRA B-Mods competing for national B-Mod points. All drivers must have a USRA license already or purchase a temporary license on site.
