Rex King Dominates For BRP Tour Modified Win Friday At Lernerville Speedway
Story By: GARY HEEMAN / LERNERVILLE SPEEDWAY – SARVER, PA – Three days after the World of Outlaw Sprints put on a show, it was the Modifieds turn to shine in Modified Mania. The BRP Tour Modifieds, Elite and UMP E-Mods, and Rush Sportsman Modifieds came into town to give us a show at the Action Track on a gorgeous Friday night. In a night that saw 73 Modifieds come to town, Rex King, Dennis Lunger Jr, Rob Kristyak, and Ty Rhoades.
The BRP Modified Tour feature ended with Rex King taking the win! The 35 lap feature saw Rex King dominate and lead all 35 laps. Rex King started on the pole and didn’t look back after he saw the first green. On lap 19, it saw Garrett Krummert, who was in 4th at the time, stop on the track and had to come off. After that, Brian Swartzlander gave him a chase but was unable to catch him and brings home a second place. John Mollick, Rex King Jr, and Dave Murdick round out the top 5.
Next up came the UMP E-Mods for their 20 lap feature that came with Dennis Lunger Jr cruising to a feature win. After a quick caution on lap 2, the rest of the A-Main went caution free in which Dennis Lunger Jr pulled away to get a win at the Action Track! Chris Basich, Carl McKinney, Jonathan Taylor, and Butch Lambert come home with a top 5 finish.
The RUSH Sportsman Mods gave us a good show with Rob Kristyak holding off Garrett Krummert to win. Blaze Myers lead the first 7 laps till Josh Deems took the lead. Rob Kristyak took the lead on lap 13 and was able to hold off a flying Garrett Krummert to take the checkered flag in the RUSH Sportsman Mods feature. Josh Deems, who finished 3rd and led early failed inspection under RUSH rules.
The last show of the night was the Elite E-Mods, which saw Ty Rhoades fly to a victory at the Action Track. Ty Rhoades started second beside Alan Dellinger but quickly took the lead on lap 1. After that it was the Rhoades Dellinger show as Ty Rhoades was able to hold him off the entire race that took him to victory lane.
