AFTON – Friday night at the Afton Motorsports Park saw even better track conditions than the week before and led to some pretty outstanding racing taking place in all divisions on Afton Driving Park night.

The ZMK Construction Modified feature was captured by Brett Tonkin after coming on strong late in the race to pass Tim Mayne for the lead on lap 27.

Mayne jumping out to the lead over Hanson, Darwin Greene, Tonkin and Smith. With the leading duo pulling away, Tonkin slipped under Greene for third on lap four. On a lap seven restart, Mayne once again pulled out to a small lead over Hanson, Tonkin, Greene, and Smith. When Hanson slipped up, the turn four cushion on lap nine was erased and Tonkin was able to grab second.

Dealing with the same slip-up but on lap 12, Greene allowed Smith to move into fourth and Nye into fifth. In the front of the pack, Mayne was in control and looking to pull-off the huge upset win.

With the remainder of the race going caution free, the big lead that Mayne once had was now shrinking little by little. What once was a 15 car-length lead at the halfway point was down to three with eight laps to go.
