CLARKSVILLE, TN \u2013 It\u2019s shaping up to be an incredible battle to the finish for the coveted DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment<\/a> Modified Nationals trophy at season\u2019s end. With the defending champion Nick Hoffman\u2019s flag-to-flag win at Clarksville Speedway<\/a> Saturday night, the race now gets a little closer.<\/p>\n Hoffman started on the outside pole and made it look easy, going virtually unchallenged for 25 laps as he cruised to his 28th career Summit Modifieds victory. He knew the pressure to perform was on, lining up next to UMP Modified hot shoe Lucas Lee, but was able to get the jump he needed to get out front heading into the first corner.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I drew the \u20182\u2019 [pill], I felt like I could roll [Lee] on the start and then just try and protect getting into Turn 1, and it worked out,\u201d Hoffman said of the initial start in Victory Lane.<\/p>\n
