Craig Von Dohren Dominates to his 2nd Modified win of Season and Lex Shive Picks up First Sportsman Win of Season at Grandview   

Craig Von Dohren moved into the lead on lap 7 from his 12^th starting position and cruised through lapped traffic to a 2 second margin of victory over Jeff Strunk for his 2^nd win in 3 races this season.

Darrin Schuler led the field to green, but it was short lived as 3 cautions flew before the first lap was in the books and Schuler suffered a flat tire sending him to the back.  Joe Funk emerged from all the lap 1 yellows as the leader until Craig Von Dohren used a novel three for one pass to take the lead from 4^th place on lap 7.  The final 23 laps of the 30-lap feature were all Von Dohren with Jeff Strunk a distance 2^nd place.

The top ten was rounded out with Jeff Strunk in 2^nd followed by Tim Buckwalter, Doug Manmiller, Brett Kressley, Jesse Leiby, Duane Howard, Brad Brightbill, Mike Lisowski and Mike Laise in 10^th place. 

Heat winners for the 37 car field were Tim Buckwalter, Mark Kratz, Joe Funk and John Willman.  Jared Umbenhauer and Mike Lisowski won the last chance consolations.
