New Egypt, NJ – In the 358 Modified feature at New Egypt Speedway, Andrew Bohn captured his first career win as Danny Bouc won the May Modified Madness Series. The Hammer Sportsman contest was taken by TJ Lilly. Ryan Godown topped the field in the Northeast Wingless Sprint Car main event. The victors in the Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie Sportsman features were Joseph Brown and David Burns.

As the 30-lap 358 Modified feature got underway, Andrew Bohn bolted to the front with Chris Grbac and Chad Barney next in line. In the opening circuits, Grbac and Barney engaged in an entertaining duel for the runner-up spot. After a few cautions and one red flag incident, Bohn was still in control on the twelfth tour with Barney, PJ Oliver, Ryan Krachun and Grbac in tow. At the halfway point, Oliver swept past Barney and began to close in on Bohn. On the nineteenth lap, Krachun motored by Barney to advance into third. On lap twenty just as fifteenth place starting Danny Bouc had moved into fifth, Krachun’s strong run ended as his car stopped in turn four. On the final restart of the event, Bohn rejected the advances of Oliver to maintain his lead with Bouc driving into third past Barney and Godown leaping into fifth. With eight circuits remaining, Godown slipped by Barney to take fourth place. On lap twenty-seven, the top three of Bohn, Oliver and Bouc were in tight quarters. Over the final tours, Bohn retained his front running position to capture the win. Oliver was next to cross the finish line. Third place went to Bouc with Godown coming home in fourth. Billy Pauch, Jr. completed the race in fifth. By out finishing Steve Davis, Godown, and Pauch, Jr., Bouc took the 2017 May Modified Madness title. The 358 Modified heats were taken by John McClelland, Bryan Kuhl and Andrew Bohn.
