LEBANON, Mo. - The 2009 season championships were held Friday night at the Midway Speedway, and the racing action was fast and close all night long.

The USRA Modified feature saw the front row of points leader Donnie Fellers and Sam Petty bring the field to the green with Fellers grabbing the opening spot, but Justin Neuman jumped to the top groove along with defending track champion Jamie Ragland to go around the front row.

Neuman, with a new powerplant under the hood, went on the dominate the 20-lap feature as Ragland moved into second place with Fellers, Petty and Jeff Albright Jr. following at the stripe.

Neuman showed everyone after missing the last two point shows that he was back in strong form with several season-ending specials coming up as he grabbed his first win of the season.

Fellers, with his third-place finish, grabbed his first Midway Speedway season title by being consistent and attending every race scheduled.
