There are a number of different types of race cars and series, so what made Kate decide to race modifieds, this season? “I’ve wanted to race a modified, ever since I started racing. I like the open wheel style of a modified; I always liked racing the Champ karts when I had the chance, they have a similar open wheel style.”

HUDSON, NC (July 22) – Mt. Airy, NC’s John Smith and Burt Myers battled side-by-side for the final 16 laps as Smith edged ahead at the finish for his third straight Southern Modified Racing Series (SMRS) Presented By PASS win Friday night at Tri-County Motor Speedway.
“This is one of the best racetracks we go to, I wish we could race here every week,” said Smith in victory lane. “Burt [Myers] was pinching me off and he was doing what he needed to do to keep me down there, but I had such great forward drive. We raced side-by-side and I don’t think we ever touched each other. What a day.”
For the third time this year, Brandon Ward was able to capture the Precision Built Spindles Pole Award with a lap of 15.252 seconds (98.190 MPH). But, after the top four qualifier redraw, Smith would slot into the pole position, while Ward would move back to the third starting position.
