Race Notes: Jeremy Payne proved tonight that you really can 'come home again' after returning to his hometown of Tucson, AZ and dominating the 40-lap $15,000 to win Wes Hurst Memorial. Payne but his teeth racing in Tucson and although he has not been a resident of the Arizona city for the past 7 or so years, he showed no signs of having missed a beat as he jumped from the front row and lead all 40-laps withstanding early pressure from Jon Tesch and then being forced to hold off his teammate Terry Phillips for the win. Phillips and Tesch swapped second multiple times during the feature event, which was held after a 2+ hour rain delay. The track was lightning quick and the event lasted just under 25mintues from start to finish. 9th starting Jason Hughes and 11th starting Rodney Sanders rounded out the top five finishers in the richest Modified race in the country in 2009.
