Cole Traugott won the USRA Modified main event.


Racing returned to 81 Speedway Saturday night with four big classes of cars competing. Alternative Pest Management  USRA Modifieds had an additional bonus of $1,300 to win and $200 to start the 25-lap "A" feature. Also added was $100 for the hard charger.

81 Speedway would like to thank Brent Thomas, S&T Racing, Doo-Dah Diner, Hiline Graphix, Mullens Race Chassis and Dive Dogs for making the event a special one.

Woodard, Oklahoma’s Cole Traugott, starting eighth, found his way through the field to pick up his first victory at 81 Speedway. Traugott slipped by polesitter Brendan Gemmill with four laps remaining to seal the win.

Gemmill paced the first 21 laps, surviving cautions and restarts, but couldn’t hold off Traugott. Gemmill finished second, with Mount Hope’s Tad Davis, Brandon Givens and Colton Eck rounding out the top five.

The "B" feature win went to last week's winner, Jake NIghtingale. Heat race wins went to Bob Bills, Davis, Eck and Cody Schniepp.

Jason McGehee picked up an extra $100 for being the hard charger in the "A" feature, starting 17th and finishing sixth.

Racing returns to 81 Speedway next Saturday, June 27, with Alternative Pest Management USRA Modifieds competing for $1,000 to win. Also competing will be USRA B-Mods plus Heyglassman.com Stock Cars and Mini Stocks. Racing begins at 7 p.m.
