Kyler Barraza beats #98 Troy Regier to the line by several car lengths in the 40 Lap feature for the Supermodified feature win in Roseburg Oregon.
Feature upset for the 900 hp supermodifieds: From the drop of the green Barraza was driving a good race keeping his sprint car straight and coming off the corners clean and was pulling away from McKeefery with Rick Veenstra in chase not far behind. After 15 laps a battle was taking place several cars back with Troy Regier coming on making his way to the front and McKeefery started slipping back and Veenstra took over 2nd. By lap 20 it was Barraza, Veenstra, Regier, McKeefery, Alberding, Jim Burgess, Matt Hein. Around lap 25 Veenstra and Regier were battling hard for 2nd and coming out of turn 2 it was Regier on the outside and on the inside Veenstra got loose coming out of turn 2 and went for a little ride into the infield and almost slowed to a stop but the yellow came out to bunch the field up. So on the restart it was Kyler Barraza leading the field with Troy Regier in 2nd, 3rd Andy Alberding, 4th Jim Burgess, 5th Bobby Dalton.
With the laps counting down Regier was trying to make a charge for the lead but Barraza just kept several car lengths in between and lap 40 came and Barraza took the checkerd flag for a huge win for his team. During trophy presentation promotor stated that this is only the 4th time for a sprint car to win a supermodified main in over 20 years and posibly the first for a dirt 360 sprint car.
