Other B Modified feature winners include defending champion Tyler Brown who has ran only a partial schedule this season, and Robbie Ewing chalked up a win in his 1st start at Midway this season. While several champions are wrapped-up by just checking-in, many tight positions can be changed. Jackson has a narrow 10 point margin over Lebanon's Tyler Knudtson for the runner-up spot.
