Ray Bollinger Bags Summit Racing Equipment AMS Fall Classic Win at Peoria Speedway

Peoria, IL – September 23, 2017 - The Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series would be at Peoria Speedway in Peoria, IL for the second and final night of 3rd Annual Fall Classic and Ray Bollinger of Kewanee, IL would pick up his first-career series victory as he would see the checkered flag first in the 60 lap, $5,000 to win main event.

Danny Schwartz would take the lead at the start of the contest and maintain the top position for the first three circuits of the event until Ray Bollinger would take command of the race by taking the lead on lap four. Bollinger’s charge would be put on hold when the caution appeared on lap six when Wiley Holtz would spin his machine in turn four. Back underway, Bollinger maintained the race lead, with Mike Harrison dogging him from the runner-up position. As the race neared the halfway mark, Bollinger and Harrison would continue to battle for the race lead, with Harrison officially grabbing the top spot on lap thirty-one. The action would slow on lap thirty-eight when Mike Chasteen, Jr. and Steven Brooks would tangle in turn three, with both drivers able to continue on in the event after the caution. The restart would see Bollinger mount a charge on Harrison and Bollinger would retake the lead on the lap thirty-eight restart. The next caution of the race would wave on lap forty-four when Allen Weisser and Mike McKinney would make contact in turn two, with McKinney looping his mount. The restart would see Harrison continue to challenge Bollinger for the race lead, but Harrison would not be able to find a way past Bollinger as the final caution of the race waved on lap forty-nine when Dan Dozard spun in turn two. This restart would set up a short-race to the finish, with Harrison attempting to pass Bollinger high and low, but could never muster enough momentum to drive past Bollinger, as Bollinger would see the checkered flag wave first, with Harrison settling for the second position, while Weisser would race home to a third-place finish. Brent Mullins would finish fourth, while Tait Davenport would complete the top five in fifth position.

The remainder of the top ten finishers at the completion of the 3rd Annual Fall Classic A-Main would be Josh Harris, Mike Chasteen, Jr., Josh Allen, Donovan Lodge, and Nick Neville.

The next event for the Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series will be Saturday October 28 at Florence Speedway in Union, KY for 8th Annual Summit Racing Equipment American Modified Series Championship, paying $5,000 to win and $250 to start.
