PADUCAH, Ky. — Tyler Nicely has gone back-to-back with the DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals.
Nicely, 27, put on a clinic Friday night at Paducah Int’l Raceway, leading all 20 circuits around the big, three-eighths-mile oval and holding off close challengers Lucas Lee and Kenny Wallace to score his third Summit Modified win of the season and eighth of his career.
“On that long green flag run, the motor started getting a little warm,” Nicely said. “I just tried to take care of my motor and not do anything stupid.”
The finish:
