CHATHAM, La. — Joe Duvall led all 30 laps to grab his first USRA American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports victory of the season Saturday night at the Super Bee Speedway.
The 49-year-old from Claremore, Okla. stopped Chris Henigan’s perfect two-race win streak to kick off the 2022 campaign.
Mississippi’s Jade Luzenberg started on the pole and fought Duvall for the top spot early on, but then fell into a tussle with Tommy Cannon for second place while Duvall raced away.
The race’s second caution on lap 12 didn’t slow Duvall’s pace, but it allowed Luzenberg and Cannon to keep Duvall close.
A third caution with four laps remaining doomed Luzenberg’s hopes when he was collected by a spinning lapped car.
The restart allowed Tyler Wolff and Henigan to get around Cannon, but neither of them had anything for Duvall who took the checkered flag ahead of Wolff to take down the $2,000 top prize.
Henigan wound up third in front of defending series champ Triston Dycus and Cannon.Â
In the USRA Limited Mods, Mark Underwood Jr. of Ruston, La., wired the field to take the victory with Colby Williams, T.J. Bond, 16th-starting Austin Storm and Ronny Freeland completing the top five.
The Sunoco USRA Factory Stock main event saw Rodney Howell of Pineville, La., take the lead from Caleb Smith and lead the rest of the way while Smith held on for second in front of Jeremy Allen, Kyle Shirley and Dewayne Turner.
Kobe Kulp of Eros, La., crossed the finish line first to triumph in the USRA Tuner feature race. Billy Smith, Shane Lowery, Justin Frith and Demetrion Harris were second through fifth, respectively.
