Terry Phillips won the USRA Modified main event.

The $22,000-to-win Rancho Milagro USRA Fall Nationals roared back into life Saturday night with 51 USRA Modifieds in attendance on night two of the three-day mega-event.

Multi-time Rancho Milagro USRA Fall Nationals Champion Terry Phillips led from green to checkered but not without  pressure first from Tanner Mullens, and then during the final laps from Johnny Scott to race to the win and solidify his pole starting spot for the 50-lap finale on Sunday.

Phillips started on the outside of the front row and got the jump on polesitter Kale Westover to take command on the opening lap with third-starting Mullens hot on his heels.

As the two Midwest racers circled the Vado Speedway Park side-by-side for the majority of the event, Rodney Sanders, Scott and Darron Fuqua were in a great battle just behind for third with Dereck Ramirez.

Phillips continued to show the way with the slightest of margins over Mullens while Sanders, Scott and Fuqua were racing hard for third just ahead of Ramirez, who was dealing with 14th=starting Jake O’Neil.

With Ramirez and O’Neil racing hard for a spot inside the top five, Friday night’s winner Cade Dillard was storming from his 21st starting spot and appeared in the top 10 early and as the laps wound down, put his No. 97 into the top five with a chance for his second straight podium finish.

The final caution of the event flew when Mullens got under Phillips entering turn one and turned himself around, setting up a late-race battle between Phillips, Scott and O’Neil for the win.

Phillips held them off and raced to the victory with Scott edging O’Neil for second at the line.

Ramirez worked by Fuqua into fourth just ahead of Dillard, who advanced 15 spots to finish sixth.

Jesse Haynie left little to the imagination tonight as he raced from the outside from row to a dominating USRA B-Mod feature win, making it two in a row for the driver out of Las Cruces in his No. X15.

With Haynie racing alone out front, a great battle ensued for second between Aasa Flores, Peyton Gallardo, Lucas Ward and Donavon Flores for much of the 20-lap event.

Donavon Flores held the second spot early until Gallardo was able to work under his No. 07 into the runner-up spot, while Aasa Flores worked to make it a three-car battle.

Haynie ran off comfortably to the win with Aasa Flores stealing the second spot from Gallardo late in the race to finish in second. Gallardo ran third with Donavon Flores fourth just ahead of Ward, who rounded out the top five finishers in his No. 11.

Josh Cain knew he had the Medieval USRA Stock Car to beat during the Friday night portion of the Rancho Milagro USRA Fall Nationals but suffered a flat tire while leading and ended up fifth in the final rundown.

So when he earned the pole position for Saturday night’s feature he was not going to let anything deter him from racing into Rio Grande Waste Services Victory Lane.

Cain got out front early and was never seriously challenged on his way to victory ahead of track points leader Rob Moseley, who ran second for the second night in a row in his No. M17, padding his points lead heading into championship Sunday.

Friday night’s winner R.C. Combs crossed the finish line in third after a race-long battle with Moseley and Mike Rosales inside the top five.

Rosales ran inside the top five all feature long and finished fourth with Shane McNutt edging Austin Huskey for fifth in a photo-finish as well.

The Vado Speedway Park is back in action Sunday for the third night of the 22nd Annual Rancho Milagro USRA Fall Nationals.
