Story By: TIM BATES / SOUTHERN STATES MODIFIED SERIES – VIVIAN, LA – Fans at Ark-La-Tex Speedway were treated to a spectacular Saturday night that ended with Wills Point, TX., Patrik Daniel in victory lane for the fifth time this season.
Daniel jumped to the lead in the caution free 25 lap feature that lasted just under seven minutes. As the leader was catching lapped traffic, Jason Ingalls powered his way from 6th starting position to the front for the lead in the Mayne Construction #87 but it was short lived when he pulled into the infield with mechanical issues.
Anthony Meek challenged Daniel for the last nine laps but had to settle for runner-up honors. Tommy Rascoe came out ahead of a fantastic three car battle and finished third with Shed Road Auto Parts Hard Charger Caleb Dillard fourth and AMSRacing pole sitter Timothy Holt completing the top five.

Jason Ingalls Scores At Sabine Speedway
MANY, LA – Jason Ingalls won APE Racing Engines Heat #1 and then led all 25 laps in scoring his second straight Doc Dillard Memorial win at Sabine Speedway.
Just past the halfway way mark, Patrik Daniel rolled underneath the Meek Motorsports No. 52m from the 6th starting spot and took second place. A caution would bunch the field for the restart with 12 laps remaining.
With Ingalls back in charge, the road to victory lane was not easy because Southern States Modified points leader, Patrik Daniel of Wills Point, TX., stalked him the rest of the distance.
Before the dust settled the red came out on lap 19 for Ken Lewing after he sailed over the turn 2 wall. He was uninjured.
Ingalls cruised around the outside line with pressure from Daniel on the bottom for the last 6 laps to win his second straight Doc Dillard Memorial over Daniel and Anthony Meek. Not far behind, Thomas Holt stormed from 12th to 4th at the finish while Oltz rounded out the top five. Richard Holt, David Forbis, Keith Meek, Mike Krompegal and Keith Badiali completed the top ten.
