Stremme Scores IMCA Modified Win At Selinsgrove

April 23, 2023

SELINSGROVE, Pa. — The Close Racing Supply NY Penn IMCA Modified Series presented by M.R. Grafix opened its season at Selinsgrove Speedway.

After 25 laps on the half-mile clay oval, former NASCAR driver David Stremme brought home the feature win and the $2,023 payday.

Eddie Sites and Rodney Morgan brought the field to the green for the Icebreaker 25 feature event. After two early yellow flags, Stremme and Rich Michael quickly moved into second and third. Stremme closed on Sites and passed him to take the lead on lap two.

Stremme pulled out to a several car length lead as Keith Jack Lamphere battled Rodney Morgan for fourth, taking the spot on lap four. Michael moved inside of Sites in turn one on lap six to take second as Stremme extended his lead to over 3 seconds. 

Stremme was in lapped traffic by the halfway point, picking his way past cars at the back of the field while Michael gave chase. The yellow flag flew on lap 16 when Matt Benjamin spun and nosed into the wall between turns three and four. 

Lamphere dropped out with a mechanical issue under the caution while running in the top five.  On the restart, Stremme again pulled out to a lead while Eddie Sites tried to fend off Ben Sites for third.  

At the checkered flag, Stremme has a full straightaway on Michael to take the win, with Eddie Sites, Ben Sites, and Morgan rounding out the top five.
