The 30-lap Modified main – and all other events – were completed by 10:30 p.m. despite persistent on-and-off rain showers throughout the night and a dire forecast. “I’ve got to thank the track and everyone involved for pushing to get this one in tonight,” Mahaney said. “And especially all…

And the three-eighths-mile clay surface has been kind to McCreadie of late: He finished third in last month’s 40-lap DIRTcar Big-Block Modified feature and recalled a top-five run the last time the…
