Henigan stays perfect with USRA American Racer Modified Series score at Sabine Speedway

By USRA (Many, LA) -- The USRA American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports made its maiden voyage to the Sabine Speedway on Friday and Chris Henigan steered his USRA Modified into victory lane for the second time in as many races.

The racer from Marshall, Texas, pocketed $2,000 from the prize pool to add to his $3,500 take from the Ark-La-Tex Speedway on March 19 where he led wire-to-wire from the pole.

Friday night’s task was more formidable for Henigan, who turned 40 years old on April Fools Day. He started tenth on the grid this time with some tough competitors in front and behind him.

Chris Dawson beat polesitter Chase Wascom to the flagstand to lead the opening lap but Tyler Wolff, who started fourth, came into the picture right away and took the lead away from Dawson on the fourth lap.

While Henigan was working his way toward the front of the field, Wolff continued to set the pace on the smooth quarter-mile oval nestled in the woods of Sabine Parish.

With 20 of 30 laps in the books, Henigan stuck his nose underneath Wolff and then slipped by to lead the 21st lap. He cruised the rest of the way home.

Meanwhile, Wolff held strong for the runner-up honors with Dawson, Wascom and Donnie Barnhart completing the top five. The rest of the top ten were Chase Allen, Kenny Gaddis, Jason Sartain, Kyle Pleasant and Georgia’s Casey Roderick, who rolled off from the 21st starting spot.

With just three cautions slowing the pace, Henigan crossed beneath the checkered flag just 1.680 seconds ahead of Wolff. Drivers from seven different states entered the event.

Sean Gaddis, Henigan and Manuel Williams Sr. each got an extra $100 from American Racer via random draw of all those who pre-entered for the show.
