HENDERSON HOLDS OFF CONWAY FOR SERIES VICTORY
Dacotah Speedway hosted opening night of the 2Strong Summer Dirt Series for the IMCA Sport Mods. When the green flag waved, Eric Paul grabbed the lead from pole sitter Zach Frederick. A series of early cautions reset the field but on a restart on lap four, Chase Conway grabbed the lead. As Conway pulled away, Brady Bjella and Kelly Henderson raced side by side for second. Henderson, who started 11th, passed Bjella and quickly chased down Conway. Using lapped traffic to his advantage, Henderson passed Conway but a caution with nine laps to go reverted the running order back to the previous lap. On the restart, Conway and Henderson continued to battle. When the white flag waved, they raced side by side the win. Racing out of turn two, Henderson had the edge going down the backstretch but Conway gave it all he had in corners three and four. As the checkered flag waved, Kelly Henderson held off Chase Conway for the win. Erik Laudenschlager finished third while Brady Bjella edged Isaac Sandrol at the finish line for fourth.
