Breaking a five year winless drought, Tyler Townsend was calm and collected behind the wheel in scoring his first ever ARMS Presented by Day Motorsports victory. It was an emotional victory lane celebration for Townsend who was joined by members of his family.

“I knew Chris and Cade were going to be coming,” Townsend commented. “I could see Chris' nose a couple times. That was a tough race. This is only my third race in seven months. It was good to get a win. I knew he (Henigan) was gonna race me clean. We're really good friends. It's just great my family is here.”

Townsend redrew the number one chip in the redraw and had a few late feverish restarts. The final one, a green-white-checkered dash to the VP Racing Fuels Checkered Flag, cemented the win in only his third race in the last seven months. A total of five Midwest Sheet Metal cautions slowed the pace.

For the second night in a row Chris Henigan, a former ARMS Champion, gave it everything he had and came up just one spot short. Cade Dillard passed eight cars and wound up third. Ralo Pilkington was fourth at the line, with Broc Bowen completing the top five.

An impressive field of 43 cars signed in for competition Saturday.

The five qualifying heats were won by Chase Hatton (ARMI Contractors), Jason Webb (Kenny's Tile), Chris Henigan (S&S Fishing and Rental), Ralo Pilkington (Fast Shafts) and Broc Bowen (Duvall Electric).

Next up for the ARMS Presented by Day Motorsports, is a Memorial Day Weekend pair of shows. Friday, May 24, the tour heads back to the Arrowhead Speedway in Colcord, Oklahoma. Saturday, May 25, action moves just down the road to the Salina High Banks Speedway in Salina, Oklahoma. Both shows will be ran in conjunction with the Heartland Modified Tour Presented by Real Racing Wheels.
