WHEATLAND, Mo. (March 27, 2026)—For the second straight night, a first-time United States Modified Touring Series winner found victory lane in the 15th annual Summit USMTS King of America at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Reece Solander of Emporia, Kansas, a Hodges Brother Racing teammate of Thursday night’s winner Gabe Hodges, led wire to wire to win the $3,000 prize in a caution-free affair.

The USMTS drivers will pursue a $15,000 feature win on Saturday night with the top nine locked into starting lineup, based on their best of two preliminary night results. Solander, second to Hodges on Night One, got the job done in a big way by leading all 33 laps.

Solander, 24, admitted he was a bit nervous as the laps clicked away.

"I didn't see the five to go. The white flag just popped out," Solander said in victory lane. "I'm not gonna lie. My last lap was horrible. Nerves kicked in. It's pretty special to be up here."

Solander started on the pole Friday and set a brisk early pace, opening a 1.3-second lead over Tyler Stevens by lap five. Stevens gradually cut into the lead, cutting it to a half-second by lap 10 with Davis and Stormy Scott battling for third nearly two seconds behind.

The leaders caught lapped traffic by lap 15. Solander weaved his way through the slower cars and expanded the lead as the race continued its lengthy green-flag run. The cushion was two seconds by lap 25 over Davis, who caught and passed Stevens.

Solander took it home from there, beating the fifth-starting Davis, of Hayfield, Minn., by .720 seconds at the finish.

“I was super happy for (Hodges) last night. That was a cool deal to run 1-2," Solander said of his teammate. "You don't get to do that very often. It feels like we have the cars running pretty good right now. It's awesome to be here with my first win at Lucas Oil Speedway."

Stevens wound up third with Talan Willis fourth and Tanner Mullens fifth.

A total of 66 USMTS drivers checked into the pits with 171 entries across the three divisions.

Action concludes on Saturday night with an earlier than planned starting time. Grandstands open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 5.
