UKIAH >> The North State Modified Series, presented by Protect the Harvest, comes to Ukiah Speedway on Saturday night for race No. 4 on its 2018 Driving Out Cancer Tour.
North State Drivers, crews and families have dedicated this season to bringing cancer awareness to racing fans. Saturday is the only time that NSMS, which features several Lake County drivers, visits Ukiah in 2018.
The NSMS points battle has flip-flopped from last season. This time last year the top five contenders hailed from Lake County. Now the top two, Kris Price and Jason Philpot, are from Sacramento. Price leads the way by 14 points. Kelseyville’s Eric Johnson sits third in the point standings with Dustin DeRosier of Cloverdale in fourth place and Darrin Sullivan of Kelseyville in fifth.
Thirty different drivers have raced with NSMS in 2018. The average car count at the first three races this season is 19. More local cars are expected to show up for the Ukiah event. Practice begins on Friday at 4 p.m. Qualifying, the Lucas Oil Dash for Cash, and the Protect the Harvest 60-lap main take place on Saturday.
The North State Modifieds join the local bandoleros, bombers, and Legends Cars on the Ukiah Speedway racing card The Nor-Cal Pro-4 modifieds also will be racing. For rules, a NSMS schedule or more information visit www.NorthStateModifieds.com.
