JAMIE MILLS REMAINS STRONG IN DELAWARE MODIFIEDS

By Charlie Brown, Delmar, DE – Since moving from his own car to the Big Block Modified of Keith Coulbourne in 2008, Jamie Mills has been solid – very solid at Delaware International Speedway. On Saturday night, Mills grabbed the lead from Tim Millman with four laps to go and extended his point lead in the division with his fifth win of the season.

Jeff Brown started on the pole and was strong in the early stages of the race. Millman ran in the second spot with Howard O’Neal in third. Hard contact between Robert Dutton and Matt Jester on lap five brought out the yellow and ended the night for both.

Jamie Mills was on the climb and up to fourth from his ninth starting spot by lap seven. Millman moved by Brown for the lead just as the yellow flew as Judd Mills flipped end over end down the front straight. Mills quickly exited the car to the relief of the crowd.

On the restart, Jamie Mills got by Brown for second. At the halfway sign the top five were Millman, Mills, Brown, H.J. Bunting and O’Neal. The high groove was the fast way around but Mills was able to get a good run off the bottom of the second turn with five to go. Mills slid up and slammed the door on Millman going into the third turn. Millman gave him a shot in the back bumper but that was as close as he would get the rest of the distance.

Mills, in the Coulbourne Farms/Bicknell, pulled away to the comfortable win. Millman finished in the second spot with Brown turning in a personal best in third. Bunting stayed in the point chase with a fourth place finish and Jordan Watson rounded out the top five. Heats were won by Jamie Mills and Bunting.

In a recent addition to the schedule the United Racing Club will join the five weekly divisions this Saturday night. It will also be Milford, Del. Fan Appreciation Night with Milford residents admitted free to the spectator side with a picture I.D. that includes a Milford, Del. address. Gates open at 4:30 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m.
