07.28.07 | Keppler waits for the white flag at Grandview Speedway. The Hoosier Tires 600 Modified Series made their second stop at Grandview Speedway this year. Bruce Kindberg and Brian Mady scored heat race victories. Due to Kindberg’s win last week, he was unable to start from the pole, putting Dave Baldwin on the point. At the drop of the green, Andy Ressler made a daring move and wrested the lead from outside pole starter, Mady. Ressler led the next two laps, but Mady was gaining momentum on the high side and led lap 3. Ressler then worked back into the lead as they slugged it out for the top spot over the next six laps swapping the lead several times a lap. As Ressler and Mady were putting on a great show, Gardner was creeping into the picture in third. By lap eight, Ressler began to pull away as Keppler passed Gardner for third. Two laps later, Keppler advanced past Mady. Steve Comers, Keith Jesburger, Dave Baldwin, and John Lakatos were involved in an altercation bringing out the caution on lap eleven. Ressler pulled Keppler on the ensuing restart as Gardner regained third from Mady. As the laps clicked off, Keppler commited to the high groove and built up momentum setting up Ressler who began to scrub speed trying to keep the bottom groove protected. Coming off turn four for the white flag, Keppler passed Ressler for the lead and didn’t look back. Gardner, Mady, and Eric Witbe finished third through fifth, with Kindberg in sixth. Hard Charger of the night, Scott Washburn passed seventeen cars to finish seventh. Mike Pychinka, George Loux and Chuck Miller also on a drive passed sixteen cars to score a top ten.
