Hoffman Captures Oakshade Victory

WAUSEON, OH — July 13, 2019 — Nick Hoffman earned his ninth DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals victory of the 2019 season, extending his championship lead as he attempts to win his second crown with two more weekends of competition remaining.
While former NASCAR champion Matt Crafton started from the pole, it was 14-year-old racer Hunt Gossum who jumped out the early lead. Hoffman methodically worked his way to second and then powered to the outside of Gossum to take the lead and pull away. A late caution set up a final shootout to the finish, which Hoffman won with Crafton second and John McClure in third.
