Capitalizing on a redraw and pulling the number one chip at intermission, Randal Schiffelbein Jr., found himself in the cat bird seat for the start of Friday's 30 lap Wehrs Machine A Feature at Electric City Speedway in Butler, Missouri.

He showed enough speed throughout to stay there as well, winning the biggest race of his career to this point. The win came on the 13th stop of the season for the Heartland Modified Tour Presented by Real Racing Wheels.

“I haven't won in a couple years, but this makes up for all the hard worked” said an elated and relieved Schiffelbein Jr. in Victory Lane. “I've flipped a car, blew motors up. I can't believe it. I just drove the crap out of the top and that's all I could really do!”

Behind Schiffelbein Jr., the points race was on. Tyler Wolff and Chad Wheeler went wheel to wheel for a large potion of the event. Wolff bettered Wheeler by one spot, however those two rounded out the podium.

Rodney Sanders and Paden Phillips completed the top five. There were a few big movers during the race. Tanner Mullens passed 12 cars to finish seventh. Gary Christian advanced 13 spots, finishing 11th.

Tyler Wolff still leads the championship standings. Early heat race wins went to Randal Schiffelbein Jr., Chad Wheeler, Mike Striegel and Lance Mari.

Tomorrow, the show moves right down the road to Nevada Speedway for another $2,000 to win event. Sunday night, the Keyser Manufacturing Larry Phillips Memorial Presented by Schoenfeld Headers and Wehrs Machine & Racing Products will commence from the Monett Motor Speedway.

Fans unable to attend either of the next two shows can watch at RacinDirt.tv.
