Pangrazio, Ayers, Bentley, Vanhorn, Nickerson, Norder win six-lap races
Boasting the second-highest car count of all 10 divisions, 54 Hoosier Racing Tire Pro Modifieds took to The Dirt Track at Charlotte Friday night for six Heat Races, setting the first nine rows of Saturday’s World Short Track Championship Feature event.
The six-lap dashes revealed the top drivers thus far in the division, as all six Heats were led flag-to-flag by the winners. Kevin Pangrazio, Ryan Ayers, Eric Bentley, Kevin Vanhorn, Brian Nickerson and Ty Norder each took their front-row starting spots and ran with them, surviving the multiple restart opportunities in their respective races to bag the wins.
The top-three finishers from each were taken into the Championship Feature, while the rest were filed into one of three Last Chance Showdown races that will open Saturday’s program, taking the winner and the runner-up into the main event.
