AFTON – Afton Motorsports Park beat the weather on Friday night with a quickly paced racing program that despite some light showers, saw the entire show completed.

Tim Mayne made sure that a feature win would not get away from him in the ZMK Construction Modifieds like it did last week. Mayne led all 30 circuits on this night to claim the win, his first since 2011. Rusty Smith chased Mayne the entire race, settling for second with Mitch Gibbs, Nick Nye, and Brett Tonkin rounding out the top five.

Mayne would use big block power to get the lead over Smith, Kenny Titus, Craig Hanson, and Darwin R. Greene.

Following a lap four restart, the top four remained the same while Gibbs moved into fifth. With Titus slipping up and out of the groove on lap five, Hanson to move into third at this point.

Mayne, Smith, and Hanson paced the field after a restart on lap 12. Gibbs was able to move into fourth while Nick Nye took fifth when the race returned to action. One lap later, Gibbs used the inside line to move past Hanson for third.

With the top three pulling away by the halfway point, a battle was taking place for positions fourth through seventh with Hanson, Nye, Tonkin, and Mike Mahaney. All racing hard looking for the quick way to the front.
