LEWISTOWN, Ill. — Before the summer began, Trevor Neville had yet to win a DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals feature.
But after his win Thursday night at Spoon River Speedway, he now has two wins in less than a week.
Neville led all 25 laps, defeating both 2023 Summit Modified champion Tyler Nicely and current UMP Modified national points leader Mike McKinney.
“I’ve spent many hours on the T.V. watching them guys win races at this exact track,” Neville said. “So, to hold [Nicely and McKinney] off on this Summer Nationals tour and get the first win here at Spoon River, I can’t thank God enough for that one. That’s magical.”
He used the bottom lane to hold off his challengers, though he said that was not his preferred line.
“If I could’ve done what I wanted to do I would’ve stayed the whole 25 laps on the [high] cushion,” Neville said. “That’s what I would’ve done but I knew there was a little moisture down there getting off.”
