24 Late Models & 42 UMP Modifieds
Tyler Erb won over Jimmy Owens, Don O'Neal, Hudson O'Neal, & Tim McCreadie. Came close to the Sprint car track record set by Dave Darland in 2014 at 12.4 Shannon Buckingham ran a 12.666 in qualifying. Derek Losh won the 30 lap Modified race. Hudson O'Neal led for most of the race until car went away with about 8 laps left. He and Tyler Erb put on one hell of a show for the lead. Track was a bit choppy but it made the race very interesting. Jimmy Owens came from 14th to 2nd. Josh Richards came from mid pack as well and was hounding the leaders in the middle of the race until he had a flat Right Rear. All in all good show. It may not have been perfect track conditions but when all said and done I thought the racing was very good in both divisions. Hope to see them back next year. O YEAH THE GRANDSTANDS WHERE A PACK HOUSE AS WELL ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRACK. ![]()

They really did 'Flock' into the Kokomo Speedway last night. The place was packed both in the grandstands and the pits for another thrilling race @ Kokomo. Thanks to all the people at Kokomo Speedway who makes everything happen.

Word has it that this race converted KO to a late model guy.
Details are sketchy however

I miss the Kokomo surface of around 2005-2017. Several rough spots, especially in 3 and 4, but still a good race last night. Hammer down for sure. I think I miss the side by side racing that was so common with the surface the way it was before the last couple seasons. The way it has been prepped recently reminds me a lot more of Haubstadt. Not saying that is a bad thing, I just loved what it was before. Great crowd at $30 a ticket, and fans from all over the Midwest. James Essex asked how many fans were making their first visit to Kokomo, and a bunch of hands went up. That can only be a good thing for Kokomo. Hopefully this show becomes a staple on the schedule, and maybe even convinces other promoters to host some late model events. Big thanks to Cody Sommer, his staff, and their partners at Kokomo Speedway for this event.

sorry i named the kids racing that have famous Dads. Most of us are 2nd generation racers at some level. Forgot about Tanner English, Terry was a wheel man for sure. Thanks again to all involved. Kokomo keeps getting better and better. Can't wait to see another Big late model show there.
