STAFFORD SPRINGS, Conn. – For the second-straight week, Todd Owen drove to victory in the SK Modified feature at Stafford Motor Speedway Friday night.

Other winners Friday included Kevin Gambacorta in the late model feature, Derek Debbis in the SK Light feature, Jeremy Lavoie in the limited late model feature and Nickolas Hovey in the street stock feature.

In the 40-lap SK Modified feature event, Doug Meservey Jr. and Michael Gervais Jr. ran the first lap side by side for the lead before Meservey was clear on lap two.  Mikey Flynn was third followed by the side by side duo of David Arute and Matt Vassar for fourth with Tyler Hines and Chase Dowling behind them. 

Gervais made a move to the inside of Meservey and he took over the lead on lap five.  Flynn was still third but Hines was now fourth with Dowling and Arute behind him.  Just behind Arute was a side by side battle between Stephen Kopcik and Keith Rocco in a fight for seventh place.  After some shuffling, Gervias and Meservey were still the two lead cars with 14 laps complete but Hines was now up to third with Dowling fourth and Flynn fifth.  Rocco and Todd Owen were side by side for sixth with Kopcik right behind them in eighth place.  Vassar spun coming out of turn four to bring the caution flag out with 19 laps complete.

Gervais took the lead on the restart with Meservey in second and Owen in third.  Dowling was fourth with Rocco in fifth.  Hines was sixth followed by Kopcik, Michael Christopher Jr., Marcello Rufrano, and Flynn.  Bryan Narducci spun coming out of turn two to bring the caution back out with 23 laps complete.

Gervais again took the lead on the restart while Owen got by Meservey to take second.  Rocco was up to fourth behind Meservey with Kopcik in fifth.  Hines was sixth in line followed by Dowling, Christopher, Flynn, and Rufrano.  Owen stalked Gervais until lap 38 when he made his move to take over the lead.  Owen then led Gervais to the checkered flag to pick up his second consecutive win of the season. Meservey finished third with Rocco and Kopcik rounding out the top-five.
