By USRA (Meeker, OK) -- On a hot summer night in the Sooner State, the American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports invaded the Red Dirt Raceway in Meeker, Oklahoma, for the Club91 Funkadelic Dirt Track & Honky Tonk Extravaganza featuring the Cowboy 100.

Polesitter Jared Baird paced the first 10 laps before Tyler Wolff took control of the race and dominated with a lead as big as almost eight seconds at times when the field was brought to a halt for a competition red on lap 60 of the 100-lap affair.

Wolff continued to lead through lap 89 when the bottom groove began to pay dividends for those who remained faithful to the shortest way around the quarter-mile oval.

As the leaders completed lap 90, Joe ‘Big Daddy’ Duvall took charge and remained the top dog through the final 10 circuits to score his second ARMS victory of the season and pocket $2,550 for his efforts.

Nathan Hagar, who started 11th on the grid, followed two seconds behind Duvall to the checkered flag while Wolff was forced to settle for the third-place paycheck despite leading 77 laps of the race.

Nathan Smith and 17th-starting Max Eddie Thomas rounded out the top five with Thomas scoring the Bulletproof Tees Hard Charger Award and an extra $100 for his passing prowess.

Tyler Davis, points leader Triston Dycus, Mark Smith and Jon Herring Jr. finished sixth through ninth, respectively while Baird hung on to complete the top 10.

Kenny Gaddis, Sean Gaddis, Michael Walker, Dustin Leatherman, Dustin Boston, Cam Case, Justin Cartwright, Joe Wright, Brandon Dean and Ryan Taylor each earned an extra $50 from 31J Racing while $25 gift certificates from Bryke Racing went to Brandon Givens, Danny Padilla, Jeffrey Kaup and Ho Dean.

Heat race winners Kenny Gaddis, Boston, Duvall and Greg Skaggs—along with Dycus, who won the Day Motor Sports “B” Feature—each got a $50 bonus from Dizzy Dean Electric.

Cam Case, Kenny Gaddis and Thomas each pocketed an extra $100 cash at the pre-race lucky draw. At every ARMS event, officials randomly draw three names during the pit meeting with each driver winning a $100 cash bonus. To win this award, the driver must attend the pit meeting and have competed in the previous ARMS event.

Dycus remains the points leader with a slim four-point lead (542 to 538) over Thomas, Chris Huckeba sits third with 486 markers, followed by Sean Gaddis (484), Duvall (474), Kenny Gaddis (466), Walker (454), James McCreery (418), Jake Gallardo (295) and Kevin Rowland (284).
