Norris notches IMCA Modified win at Springfield
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (July 25) – Arkansas hard charger Mark Norris took the lead from Carl Murphy with two laps remaining to become the seventh different Bad Boy Mowers IMCA Modified feature winner in eight races so far this season at the Quick-Quarter of Springfield Raceway. In a wild Saturday night feature, most of the pack was chasing Murphy, who jumped to the early lead from his third starting spot while Norris started 11th on the grid. Murphy set a steady pace with action all around behind him as the battle for second through ninth was wicked. Norris was able to take advantage of the final restart and quickly made his winning move for IMCA Modified career victory no. 99. Following Norris to the line were early leader Murphy and Jody Tillman. Only Steven Bowers Jr. has won multiple features this season at Springfield. IMCA Modified action continues next Saturday with racing slated to start at 7:15 p.m.
