The 4th annual “Aftermarket Nationals” brought a record 66 Modifieds and 28 Sportmods to Keith Simmons' 3/8 mile Farley Speedway. It was two days of intense racing action dubbed as the Declaration of Independence against the Crate Engine.

When the final checkered flag of the night flew it was Corning, Iowa's, Jesse Dennis hoisting the trophy and collecting the $10,000 winners share. Dennis started the 50 lap main from the pole. He settled in behind race leader David Brown for the first ten laps before overtaking Brown for the lead.

The race was stopped at the midway point to allow the drivers to refuel. The second 25 laps saw the top five positions change with the exception of Dennis maintaining the point position. Chris Zogg scored his career best special event finish garnering the runner up spot and the $5,000 check. Hunter Marriott, Jordan Grabouski and Brown rounded out the top five.

The Sportmods were also part of the “Aftermarket Nationals” all in competition with custom built engines. Troy Bauer had laid claim a couple of weeks back that he had the “Aftermarket Nationals” on his list of must win events. Bauer made good on his claim as he captured the 30 lap Championship on Friday night.

Bauer raced with pole sitter Todd Weise for several laps and was part of the lead pack that grew to four before Bauer was able to move out front and take the clear track en route to the Championship. Weise fell back as far as 5th before making a run back to the front in finishing second ahead of Josh Most and Tyler Soppe.

Friday, July 8th will be Driver Appreciation night at the Farley Speedway with a full program of Weekly Racing with a free grandstand admission. Action will take to the track at 7 pm with the first race scheduled for 7:30 pm.
