Fifteen entries took the green at Concord for the SK Modified Weekly round, and the night belonged to Davis Warren. Starting from pole, Warren set fast time in qualifying (worth 1 bonus point) and then led every one of the 35 feature laps to secure a flag-to-flag victory. The performance extends his stronghold on the championship and underscores a complete night: pole, most laps led, and the win.
The storyline also featured a big-name return: Aidan Strawberry made his first series start and reminded everyone why he’s the third-winningest driver in ICL history. Rolling from 11th, Strawberry carved forward to finish 3rd, immediately inserting himself into the top-10 of the standings despite only a single appearance. Between Warren’s perfection out front and Strawberry’s debut podium, the series gained both a dominant benchmark and a new (old) threat.
The drive of the night came from Teddy Hodgdon. After qualifying outside Row 6, Hodgdon stormed from 12th to 2nd, earning Hard Charger honors at +10 positions gained. He also clocked the fastest lap of the race (15.223), confirming raw pace to match the forward progress. It was the most complete charge through the field and the clearest sign that Warren won’t have it easy in the rounds to come.
Not everyone’s evening trended upward. The toughest nights by position loss belonged to Ezra Guecho (2nd to 8th, -6), Hunter Leroy (4th to 10th, -6), and Michael Poirouxtipton (7th to 13th, -6). Each showed pace in qualifying but couldn’t convert that starting spot into a late-race result, a reminder that Concord’s rhythm and exit drive can be unforgiving over a 35-lap run.
With the ICL scoring paying 12 points to the winner, one less per position, and 1 bonus for fast time, Warren’s sweeper night yielded 13 points that further opens his championship margin. Strawberry’s 10-point debut (3rd place, no bonus) drops him right into the scrum of contenders, while Hodgdon’s 11-point second-place finish instantly places him among the chasers ready to pressure the leader in upcoming rounds.
