Toth Takes His First Modified Win at Bridgeport Motorsports Park

Joe Toth won the modified race on the Kingdom of Speed while Bridgeport Motorsports Park was able to complete the race before 9:00 and beat the rain before it arrived.

Neal Williams lead the field until lap 10 when Joe Toth took the lead from his 3rd position on the starting grid.  Toth maintained a 1 second lead over second place Tim Buckwalter and on the final lap the first caution of the feature came out for Tommy Beamer who lost a tire with one to go.  Toth lead the single file restart to green and was in the final turn when his car went sideways sending the field behind him scrambling around his 9t entry but Toth was able to straighten out and continue and take the checkered flag before Ryan Godown or anyone else got past him.
