Ryan Watt Is Thunder Modified Master

BECHTELSVILLE, Pa. — Ryan Watt picked up the NASCAR 358 Modified victory and $3,000 at Grandview Speedway on Tuesday night, as part of the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series.

Kyle Larson won the companion Pennsylvania Speedweek feature.

There was no cruise control on the way to victory for Watt in the NASCAR 358 Modified feature event. Kevin Hirthler led the field to the green flag running side-by-side with Watt for the first six laps before Watt’s No. 14w machine could complete the pass.

The top five ran nose-to-tail with Watt leading the way followed by Hirthler, Craig VonDohren, Jeff Strunk and Brett Kressley.

Kressley tangled with a lapped car, bringing out the first yellow flag of the night.

On the restart, the top-five used every inch of the Grandview Speedway battling it out, with Strunk claiming the second spot.

Watt picked up the $3,000 win, Strunk settled for second, while Craig VonDohren, Kevin Hirthler, and Doug Manmiller rounded out the top five.
