GREAT FALLS, Mont. (June 1, 2024) – Electric City Speedway had another stellar installment to their 2024 IMCA Speedway Motors Weekly Racing slate with 20 Friesen Performance IMCA Modified entries on hand for Saturday’s show.

Rex Feller skillfully maneuvered around front row starters John Price and Patrick La Mere, surging ahead to a significant lead within the first few laps and setting the stage for what proved to be a fiercely competitive race.

As Feller held onto his lead, the race intensified into a thrilling pursuit. Kaycie Kynett steadily closed the gap but was unable to find a way past the leader.

The two front runners began to approach lapped traffic but fortunately for Feller, a majority of the slower cars he encountered were operating on the high side of the track.

In the final laps, 12th-starting Jordan Tocci found a burst of speed against the outside wall. He managed to secure second place with three laps remaining and made a valiant attempt to catch up to Feller on the final lap, but Feller’s lead was too substantial.

He crossed the finish line to claim a well-deserved victory in the stoppage-free feature. Tocci was second, followed by Kynett in third.
