White Wins after Browns DQ
Former USAC Silver Crown Champion Paul White was declared the winner of the Pro Cuts TWDTC Limited Modified feature after apparent victor, Chris Brown filed to pass post-race tech. P. White bided his time in the top five throughout the race and found himself at the right place at the right time after inspection of Brown's car.
As green waved on the 24-car, 30-lap Limited Modified Championship feature, J. Day jumped into turn 1 first, with Brown and Green falling in behind. A spin by Brock Hall in turn 3 would bring out a caution and see a complete restart. On the second start, Green got out front this time, with J. Day, Brown, Sid Kiphen and Keith White in tow. P. White then moved in to battle along side brother Keith for fifth. Lap 2 saw yellow wave again for a spin by Logan Macy between turns 3-4. Once back under green, the top 10 stayed single file until Kiphen and P. White began fighting for fifth, while Troy Taylor and Bo Day ran side by side for seventh.
P. White then used the high groove to get past K. White for fourth on lap 5. As J. Day and Brown went wheel to wheel on lap 7 for second, P. White closed in and lurked in fourth. Brown and J. Day were forced to go three wide past a slower car giving Brown a good run. No sooner than Brown had cleared J. Day he was inside Green for the lead. Green was no match for Brown who took over the top spot on lap 9, while K. White snagged fourth back from P. White. K. White then moved in an around J. Day for third on lap 10.
Jason Howell spun on lap 11, but kept going at the same time K. White was getting tagged by J. Day and sent around. K. White continued on, both lost numerous positions. At halfway the top five were Brown, Green, P. White, Taylor and Robert Vetter. David Hood brought out the final caution on lap 16 with a spin in turn 4. On the restart, Brown had a lapped car buffer on Green as the race resumed. P. White and Taylor both got past Green when green was shown. K. White fought his way back up, getting by B. Day and Chris Cogburn for sixth on lap 20, as Brown began to ease away.
Tristan Dycus made a late charge, getting by Kiphen for seventh on lap 22. With five to go, Brown had run out to a full straightaway lead over P. White. Taylor and Green. The only thing to slow Brown down was lapped traffic on lap 27, but Brown had such a lead it didn't matter. As the white flag was shown, Brown still had a huge lead and easily grabbed the checkers in what appeared to be a big birthday win. In post-race inspection, Brown's car was found to be illegal and the win awarded to P. White in Casey Horton’s, Hanig Racing Engines, Custom Vinyl Graphics, Trumble Racing Components, Dust Devil Chassis.

Timms Takes on Modified Field for Championship Run
In his fourth attempt at the Pro Cuts TWDTC, Oklahoma city's Randy Timms finally found his way to the TMS Dirt Track Winner's Circle. Timms would lead all but one lap of the 40-lapper on his way to big $3,000 payday.
Pole sitter, Justin Boney was first into turn 1 as the 24-car field roared in action. Coming out of turn 2, Timms had a god run getting by Morgan Bagley for second, then Boney coming out of turn 4 for the lead. Boney tried to cross back under Timms, but ended up losing second to Brown on the high side. Casual contact in the mid-pack battle for tenth split the field up. On lap 3, Brown drifted too high in turns 3-4, allowing Boney to retake the spot.
Troy Taylor and Paul White were side by side for fifth on lap 4, with Chad Wheeler lurking in seventh. A lap later Taylor and Wheeler both got by P. White, but P. White fought back on Wheeler to recapture the spot. Brown, looking to complete the weekend sweep, then began putting the pressure back on Boney for second. By lap 10, Timms had built a good lead over Boney and Brown with a gap back to Bagley, Taylor and P. White, while Dee Gossett, Wheeler, Bobby Malchus and John Allen battled for eighth.
P. White momentarily grabbed fifth from Taylor, but Taylor came back by and got along side Bagley for fourth. The top four then separated out, while P. White got by Bagley for fifth. On lap 17, George White spun from a five car scrap for the fourteenth spot to bring out yellow and erase Timms' big lead. On the restart, Boney tried to challenge Timms on the high side, while Taylor got inside Brown for third. Timms and Boney ran wheel to wheel for the lead on lap 19 and at he crossed flags it was Boney, by a bumper, Timms, Brown back by Taylor and P. White in the top five.
Boney's lead was short lived as Timms was back on the point for lap 21, as Allen passed Bagley for sixth and Malchus followed to seventh. In the pack, Gossett, Wheeler and Greg Skaggs were three wide for ninth. On lap 25, Timms was lengthening his advantage over Boney, who held a good margin over Taylor. In the meantime Brown and P. White were swapping the fourth spot in a spirited battle. Gossett and Wheeler were three wide again, this time with Bagley in the fight for ninth.
Brown and P. White were still at it for fourth on lap 31, as Timms was catching the rear of the field. Lap 34 saw Boney's chance at a top finish end as his car shot straight into the turn 3 wall to bring out the final caution. Timms got a good jump on green, while Wheeler tried a bonsai charge on the outside to pick up positions. With five to go, Allen, P. White and Malchus battled hard for fourth, with Wheeler, Gossett and Skaggs closing. That pack went three wide for sixth as the top three motored away. As the white flag waved, Timms had a ten car margin over Taylor, while the fight for fourth now went three wide. As the checkers waved it was Timms in the Western Flyer Express, Victory Lane Graphics, Kent Automotive, Quick Fix Racing Components, B&H Tire, Child Help USA, Hughes Chassis, taking the victory.
