In E Modified, Jeff Kiesel did not have the Tire Rack Solo Nationals week he was expecting. The rain that fell in the early part of Thursday’s first runs of heat five left Kiesel and many other front-running drivers in the lurch. Kiesel was only able to get a single dry run in the books, and that included a one-cone penalty. On Friday, under clear skies, Kiesel showed why he has become such an institution in the class by running a best lap that was more than once second faster than the next closest diver. With top times from Thursday and Friday added together, Kiesel finished ahead of day-one leader Jason Minehart by 0.431-second.
