Nester Claims Winchester Victory

Brian Nester let everyone know prior to Monday's Firebottle 40 for the O'Reilly USA Modified Series that he was going to win the event, and that's exactly what he did. Veteran Central Indiana racer Harold Scott took the early lead from his pole starting position with a group of eight cars right behind him. Ross Klingelhoffer stalked Scott for several laps before making the pass for the lead on lap eight, bringing Nester with him to second. Nester patiently rode behind Klingelhoffer waiting for the right moment to pass, which came on lap 32 as the two got into lap traffic going into turn three, Nester picked the right line and got by to grab the lead. Nester then held off Klingelhoffer to get the win. Scott Tomasik was third, Kyle Jones fourth and Mike Stacy fifth. Tomasik was the Fast Qualifier and the winner of the six lap Dash event on Saturday. Klingelhoffer was the winner of Saturday's 10 lap Fast Heat.
