After Todd Baer passed Terry Markovic on lap three, he kept his foot planted on the gas and held on the rest of the way for his first win of the year while giving car owner Robert Wagner his first-ever victory in Saturday night's Modified feature at Mahoning Valley Speedway.

What was even more interesting was the fact that Baer's son, Nick, was his main opponent for most of the race and they were in a position to make track history as the first father/son duo to finish 1-2 in a Modified main at Mahoning.However, on the final lap, Nick got a nudge from behind and slipped out of line. That opening allowed Kyle Strohl to sneak in and take the runner-up spot while Eric Beers, who had clinched the 2016 class championship, finished third. Nick Baer rebounded to finish fourth, which was his best finish in a Modified, while Don Wagner rounded out the top five."We were getting a little nervous because we are going on 20 years of winning at least one race a season, and we got in right down to the end," said Baer."I felt someone behind me and I never knew it was Nick (Baer). The car was great, and this was awesome to get the win for Robert Wagner in such a short period of time."The evening's racing marked the final day of points, although for some classes there will be an additional 100 show-up points to be awarded on Oct. 22 at the season finale Octoberfast 2016.The Jennifer Kutz Flanagan Memorial 42 took place for the Late Models, and making a huge statement was Mike Sweeney, who went on to notch the victory and virtually assure himself of this year's title.Sweeney just needs to take the green at Octoberfast to officially become Late Model champion."First of all, I want to thank the Kutz family for putting on this race. They raised a lot of lap money, and we all miss Jennifer, so I really want to thank them," said Sweeney. "The car was good tonight, just as it is has been all season. My guys are the reason behind that too. The hard work and dedication in the shop paid off, and this was the goal - to win this championship."We gave up some points in the last couple weeks, so we made sure we came out tonight and did everything correctly. I had to hit my marks and remember what we were racing for."The Street Stock feature was a barnburner that saw Jon Moser pull off a thrilling last-corner pass on Rick Reichenbach.Jamie Smith and Reichenbach had been locked in a solid battle for the lead with Smith showing the way most of the time. Hovering quite closely was Moser, who was able to squeeze by Smith on the final lap and then continued to charge at Reichenbach. As they reached the final turn, Moser made a lunge to the inside. Despite some paint-swapping, he took the very exciting win, his third of the year.The Dirt Modified feature was the final show for the class, and coming into the 25-lapper, it was a winner-take-all for the championship between Billy Lasko and Ricky Yetter, who were separated by three points.Taking full advantage of his upfront starting spot, Yetter blasted into the lead at the drop of the green, and from there on, never trailed. He not only garnered his fifth win of the year, but also earned his second straight championship.Josh Scherer capped off his run to the Pro 4 title in style by winning for a seventh time. Scherer took the lead after front-runners Bobby Kibler Jr., and Jake Kibler collided on lap 13. Scherer, who was in the thick of the battle with that pair, narrowly escaped that wreck. He then held off Cody Kohler the rest of the way en route to his career first title.13-year old Avery Arthofer proved herself yet again as the talented rookie driver won her second Hobby Stock feature of the season. Arthofer grabbed the lead at the outset and then held off a determined Shayne Geist.Modified (35 Laps)1. Todd Baer, 2. Kyle Strohl, 3. Eric Beers, 4.Nick Baer, 5. Don Wagner, 6. Jack Ely, 7.
