Anthony Kincade and Larry Moran battle door to door and down to the wire during the Modified feature event with Kincade eventually scoring the win. There were over 40 Modifieds entered and that meant half would be loading up early tonight. Two 'B' Mains would advance only four of the best to create an awesome field of cars to do battle in their main event. Although the race was slowed by a few cautions with a little controversy mixed in, we'll just chalk that up to good hard racing with adrenaline set on high as there was no shortage of action anywhere. Modifieds and Late Models are the top draw at Muskingum County along with Limited Lates, Pure Stocks, and Mini Stocks. You can almost always count on 150 cars pit side for a long night of racing on a well prepared race track. At the end of this race: Anthony Kincade, Larry Moran, Jacob Hawkins, Rick Aukland, and Jesse Wisecarver were the top five, along with Rick Slaughter, Matt Aber, Rusty Redman, Kyle Brown (from tail), and Clint Keenan filled the top ten.

From official IRS reports: Zanesville, OH (May 24, 2008) - Eddie Carrier Jr. of Salt Rock, WV captured his third-career Independent Racing Series victory at the Muskingum County Speedway in Zanesville, OH on Saturday night May 24, 2008. The win was worth $5,000 for Carrier during the ‘Dunn/Hartman/Lutz/Tanner & Boyd’ Memorial event. Carrier’s Grover Racing Engines powered Rocket Ford Fusion is sponsored by Hoosier Racing Tire and Engines Inc.

Keith Berner and Cody Parker brought the 26-car field down to the green flag with Berner winning the drag race into turn one and leading the opening circuits. It was the Keith Berner show for the first several laps until eighth place starting Eddie Carrier Jr. rolled to the front of the field behind the leader by the 11th circuit. Carrier would close the gap of the lead to only 10 car lengths by the 13th lap. The first lapped car on lap-15 was Kyle Bates as leader Keith Berner worked his way around now looking for Jason Montgomery on the 21st circuit.

Robbie Blair was now a fast mover at this point, after starting in his fourth position was challenging for the third spot from Dave Hess Jr. by the 27th lap. Carrier would gain control of the race with an outside pass in turn two and go on to lead starting with the 33rd lap while Berner, Blair and Doug Dodd settled for single-file positions on back.

The only yellow flag would wave on the 38th lap as Kyle Bates went over the embankment in turn three. This left a 12-lap dash to the checkered flag for leader Carrier with Berner, Blair, Dodd and Hess the top-five.
Carrier would hold on for the remaining laps to win his second Independent Racing Series event win of 2008.
