Traugott headlines Heartland Modified Tour at Elk City
Elk City, Okla. — The USRA American Racer Modified Series Presented by Day Motor Sports rolled in western Oklahoma’s Elk City Motorsports Park on Friday night, and a strong field of 30 cars took over the 3/8 mile oval.
Woodward, Oklahoma ace Cole Traugott led the 25 car Wehrs Machine A Feature to the green. Second place starter Sam Osman battled Traugott early on, before another Oklahoma native, Kale Westover, charged towards the front.
After a caution just past the halfway point, Traugott ran back out to a big lead, while Westover worked to track him down once again. A flurry of late race cautions gave Westover multiple opportunities to pass for the win.
When the VP Checkered Flag waved, Traugott held off Westover. He earned a sweet trip back to victory lane, at the track where he claimed last year’s track championship.
Early on, heat race wins went to A.J. Sharpensteen, Jon Herring Jr., Chase Hatton and Cole Traugott.
Saturday, at Route 66 Speedway, in Amarillo, Texas the Limited Modifieds will also be running an added money show with $1,500 going to the winner. This is in addition to the USRA American Racer Modified Series Presented by Day Motor Sports headlining the night with a $2,000 to win main event. The gates swing open at 5:30 PM and the show starts at 7:00 PM. It will be live on RacinDirt.tv for those unable to be at the track.
