The Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League Optima Batteries Super Modified Two Wheel Drive division was in action for the second night in a row at The Effingham County Fairgrounds in Altamont, IL.  This is the hometown event for the Nelson family, as they all grew up here, and Jared and Bethany make their home in Altamont to this day.  20 Vehicles took to the Altamont dirt, and when the dust had settled, Reese Shelton, and his New London, NC based cutting edge Ford was the victor.

Team Midnight had two trucks in the top ten at Altamont, and they were the machines of John Mumma, who parked his “After Midnight” SSR in the number 7 position with a distance of 299.51.  Son in Law Jeremy Nelson would be one spot behind John, as he took the number 8 position with his distance of 298.00 aboard his 1941 Dodge known as the “Speedco Midnight Gambler”.

Husband and Wife Duo Jared Nelson and wife Bethany took 19th and 17th on the evening in their Boyd and Sons liveried machines.  Jared’s pull distance was 279.83 in his “Midnight Revenger” Chevrolet. Bethany pulled her “Warrior Tracks Sweet Revenge Chevrolet” to a distance of 282.95

Congrats to Reece Shelton and Tony and Lisa Tatum on their top 3 podium Finishes.
