The Modified Main Event ended up as the Belec and Ursetta
show. Both Eddie Belec of Lakewood, and Dominic Ursetta of Arvada, started
on the second row and quickly picked their way to the front. Mostly Belec led,
but Ursetta would gain on him and through some of the turns got his bumper ahead
of Belec, maintaining the neck-and-neck race. Sponsored by the same team,
like brothers they compete at the highest level and regardless of the outcome,
they celebrate the win together. This time it was Belec who was mere
inches ahead at the contested finish, and is was the track photographer’s
picture that captured the photo finish and clenched the final decision for the
win. It was easy for Ursetta to accept second since he remains the points
leader in the Modified division, just a few points ahead of Belec who is second
in points. Joe Mullins of Boulder, came in third.
