By Matt Panure LUXEMBURG, Wis. (June 5) – The Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified division at Luxemburg Speedway saw a Friday night first for 2015 with Josh Long grabbing the win. Troy Jerovetz and James Tebon exchanged the lead early in the 20-lap feature event.  A spin on lap four brought out the caution and again set up a duel between them. Eventually, Tebon took the top spot and pulled ahead by a car-length. This left Jerovetz and Russ Reinwald to battle for second. Long wasted little time watching the battle and jumped right in. He swung to the inside and cruised past the battle on lap six. Two laps later he had caught Tebon and began to challenge. By lap nine Long had secured the top spot. As Long built up his lead, Shawn Kilgore and Benji LaCrosse moved toward the top five. Kilgore grabbed third on lap nine and surged past Tebon on lap 11.
