was his first top-five finish of the season.
Szegedy held off Justin Bosingnore who
followed in second while Matt Hirschman was third. Ron Silk was
fourth and James Civali completed the top five.
Defending race winner ted Christopher
finished sixth with Mike Stefanik seventh and Ron Yuhas Jr..
eighth. Erick Rudolph and point leader Rowan Pennink completed
the top 10.
Pennink used his solid finish to retain
the points lead by 25 over Silk (644-619.
The race was slowed six times for caution.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour returns
to action this Thursday in the Budweiser 'King of Beers' 150 at
