WILLIAMSON, N.Y. — Matt Hirschman reached victory lane for the first time in his NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour career Saturday night at Spencer Speedway when he led 79 laps and won the Mason Farms 100.
Hirschman, who won the second of two 25-lap heat races earlier in the evening, led four times throughout the 100-lap main and was the car to beat all night. After Mike Stefanik moved through the field and took the lead on lap 89, the veteran was caught up in an accident and Hirschman took back a lead he would never relinquish.
Hirschman’s first victory came in his 45th-career NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour start.
Ronnie Silk was the runner-up to Hirschman in the race, which marked his third top-10 finish in a row. Chuck Hossfeld, who won the first heat, came home third and has yet to finish outside the top five in six races this year.
Jimmy Blewett followed Hossfeld across the finish line, while Stefanik was fifth.
