Austin Holcombe scores pair of Top-5 finishes with Modified Mafia Tour
Returning to the Modified Mafia Tour after his trip out to the Midwest, Austin Holcombe was one of 20 Modifieds at Dixieland Speedway (Elizabeth City, N.C.) for the first night of a doubleheader weekend.
Qualifying second-quickest overall, Holcombe finished third in the dash which earned him the pole position for the main event. With a $3,000 payday on the line, Austin slipped to second on the first start and wound up third when the checkered flag flew.
With a whopping $10,000-to-win prize up for grabs at Virginia Motor Speedway (Jamaica, Va.) on Saturday, Holcombe was victorious in his heat race and finished third in the Race for the Pole. Rolling off second in the 40-lap main event, Austin faded and slipped back to seventh before rallying to finish inside the Top-5 in fifth.
