Red Light Racing League’s Skitter Creek SK Modified Series headed to Concord Speedway on January 30, 2025, for the fourth race of Season 13 of the series. In a theme consistent with the earlier three events of the season, the leader of the most laps during the race would not take home the checkered flag. Eric Stout led 98 laps of the event which was extended to 104 laps because of a green-white-checkered finish. In the end, Brian Bianchi won the race after starting 4th. Fred Leclair gained 13 spots from his 15th place qualifying position to finish 2nd. TJ Henson climbed from 14th on the RACEDAYCT.com starting grid to round out the podium in third. Joshua Buckley and Luke Logan Allen rounded out the top 5.

Eric Stout won the pole turning a lap of 15.187 seconds around the ½ mile triangular speedway. The first 27 laps ran caution free with Stout at the point, and Kenny Allen and AJ Hamel in second and third, respectively. The first caution came out on lap 28 after Brandon Feeney spun attempting to make an inside move on Chris Haizlip in turn one.

By the end of the race, the caution flag would wave another 5 times. The largest number of drivers involved in a caution during the event occurred on lap 84. Kenny Allen tried to move to the inside line but contacted the front of Luke Logan Allen’s car, with Kenny spinning as a result. Several drivers were gathered in the accident including Bradley Stefane, Bruce Pearson, Jeff Aho, and Rob Higgins.

For Eric Stout the most significant caution would occur on lap 98 when Brian Neff contacted the left rear of Feeney on the front stretch, spinning them both. The resultant green flag came out on lap 103 with Stout at the point, AJ Hamel in second and Fred Leclair in third. Leclair was passing Hamel in turn two and three when he contacted the left rear of Stout’s machine. Stout spun as a result collecting Hamel and others. Bianchi, who restarted in 5th, escaped the melee with the lead and lead the last lap of the race for the win. Surprisingly, no caution came out because of the wreck at the front of the field.

Joining Bianchi and Stout as leaders of the event were Neff and Hamel. In addition to sitting on the pole and leading the most laps, Stout also turned the fastest lap of the race, completing lap 5 in just 15.2 seconds. The numerous cautions in the last three-fourths of the race would ensure that most drivers left the event with incident points. Only Ritch Blake and Doyle Lowrance had no incident points. The two finished in 16th and 21st, respectively.

The series goes to historic Stafford Speedway on February 6th. Catch all of the action LIVE on VGN, green flag is scheduled to drop at 7:55 PM Eastern.
