Callaway Investments Modified Series – Tour Modifieds – Round 8 – Nov. 6, 2018 – New Smyrna Speedway
Before the Fall Brawl, the Tour Modifieds took on New Smyrna for 100 laps under the lights in Round 8 of their season.
Race Summary – Ryan Doucette benefitted from the 9-car invert to start up front and used it to his full advantage. In the early laps of the race, the rest of the top three were able to follow him within a couple car lengths, not allowing Doucette to pull away. The first challenge for the lead came from Ty Majeski who restarted to the outside of Doucette on the lap 37 restart. Majeski got the nose ahead, but as he pinched down off of the corner, there would be contact which sent Majeski around in front of the field, while Doucette continued on. For the remainder of the race, Doucette faced a little bit of pressure from behind, but was able to hold off the field and went on to lead every lap to pick up his first Modified victory.
Race Winner – Ryan Doucette – Qualified 9th, started 1st (9-car invert), 100 laps led
