In winning for a second time this season, Kris Graver enjoyed one of the finer nights of his career.

Graver started ninth, and within five laps was running third. Two laps later, he checked into second, and by Lap 12, worked by then-leader Kyle Strohl. Once out the front, he as was able to outrun his competition by a significant margin, making it a race for second.His only worry came when a caution waved just prior to the final lap that put top guns John Markovic, Bobby Jones, and Eric Beers behind him, but when the action resumed, there was no problem in taking his 12th win in a Modified and 45th overall at Mahoning Valley."The car felt really good, and we're still working in it to get better. I want to thank everyone for running me clean, and the crew for giving me an awesome car tonight," said Graver.Graver was on cruise control until the late-race caution put the other drivers on his tail."You always have to worry when you got those guys behind you, but like I said the car was so good tonight. You just have to keep that out of your head, and focus on hitting your marks and do what you have to in order to get the job done," said Graver. "I think some of (it) was due to the American Racer tires. This was the second week we're running the same set, and they've (American Racer) really given us a good product.Markovic got second while Beers just nipped Jones at the line for third.Since 2008, Graver has racked up 45 overall wins, placing him sixth all-time at Mahoning."It's very overwhelming to think that I've reached that many wins. I grew up here and have watched so many greats over that time. It's never easy at this place, and it's an honor to know we've accomplished that against so many others," noted Graver.In the Late Model division, Mike Sweeney got back to his winning ways as he notched his fourth win in seven starts this season, but first since April 29.Sweeney raced into the lead after escaping an opening lap melee just in front of him.On the restart, he was lined up on the outside of Chris Anderson, and would then out-power him once the first lap was scored. It would be a smooth and steady run for the current point leader the rest of the way as he had very little trouble maintaining his lead.and eased into his 40th career Late Model win at Mahoning Valley.In the Street Stock division, Jamie Smith is off to perhaps his best ever season as he won his second feature in a month's time.Smith took the lead on Lap 2 and then withstood an onslaught of advances from Mark Deysher and Alan Schlenker. Deysher continues to be a force, notching his third runner-up in the last four races.In the Dirt Modified division, it comes as no surprise that Mike Stofflet picked up another win. This time may have been his best yet, as he went to the lead on the opening lap, and was approaching the second and third place cars until a caution put a halt to his lapping the field. Nonetheless, he was again the top car, taking his sixth straight win.In the Pro 4 division, Jason Finken may be a true-blue rookie, but watching his performances throughout the season would have one thinking otherwise. Finken has been fast and strong from Day 1, and on Saturday night, he capped it all off with his first career win. Finken went by Kailyn Beers on Lap 8 and was perfect the rest of the way.In the Hobby Stock division, Paul Effrig can now add another class to his victory to his resume. He grabbed the lead over Colton Perry on Lap 10 and then held back a bevy of on-comers in scoring his first win since a Late Model victory in 2014.Modified (35 Laps)1. Kris Graver, 2.
