WOODHULL, N.Y. — Jake Dgien used a last-lap pass to secure victory in the modified division at Woodhull Raceway on Saturday night.
Steve Coots and Donnie Lawson would bring the field to green in the Insinger Performance Modified 25 lap feature with Lawson immediately assuming command.
He opened a full straightaway lead over Brayden Bills who moved into the second slot from his inside row two starting position.Â
The first yellow of the event would wave just shy of the half-way mark on lap 11 for the disabled machine of Aiden Grover. On the restart, Lawson would again take control, but before the lap could be completed ,the second caution flag would fly for a three-car tangle in turn two.Â
With 11 laps still in the books, Lawson would again keep control of the field on the restart with Russ Morseman III and Jake Dgien closing in on the lead duo. Lawson continued to fight off relentless pressure from Bills, Dgien and Ajay Potrzebowski Jr. who had entered the mix.Â
A lap 15 caution involving both Brayden Bills and Potrzebowski Jr. would see Ajay Jr going pit side and Bills tagging on to the rear of the field. With the field under green, Lawson continued to set a torrid pace with defending track champion and three-time feature winner Joe Dgien now making some noise on the outside of the speedway.Â
With just a pair of laps remaining, Lawson was nearing his first feature win of the season, but Dgien had other ideas as he blasted by on the last lap and nipped Lawson at the line by half a car length to claim victory.Â
Lawson would go on to nail second has he was followed across the finish line by Russ Morseman, Brian Doolittle and Brady Fultz Fults.
