What a difference one race can make.

After finishing last in the season opener two weeks ago at Caraway Speedway in Sophia, NC, Andy Seuss held off Eric Goodale on a green-white-checkered finish to win the Charles Kepley Memorial 150 Saturday in a return to Caraway.

When Seuss looks back on his 11th career NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour win at the track he will probably think of his crew first.

Seuss’ pit crew got him out of the pits first just in front of Goodale on lap 131, after a spin by Kyle Ebersole brought out the fifth caution flag of the race.

Ryan Preece rebounded from contact with JR Bertuccio on the final restart on lap 146 to finish third, with Bertuccio and Burt Myers completing the top five.

For most of the race it appeared Bertuccio was on his way to his third career tour win as he took the lead from Preece on lap 8 and remained out front until the leaders came in for the decisive pit stop.

It was the most laps the Centereach, NY, native had led in competition since he led 145 in his win last April at Southern National Motorsports Park in Kenly, NC.

Jason Myers finished sixth, and Ebersole able to work back through the field after his late spin to finish seventh. Frank Fleming, Gary Putnam and John Smith completed the top 10.

Seuss and the rest of the Southern Modified competitors will be in action next Saturday at Virginia’s South Boston Speedway for the South Boston 150.
