VERNAL, UTAH (June 19, 2010) - Wyatt Howard of Price, Utah traveled to the Diamond Mountain Speedway in Vernal, Utah, the day after he spent his Friday at the Fairgrounds Speedway in Cortez, Colorado, over 400 miles away.

Howard did not do well in his heat race but by the feature, he was seen starting in the twelfth spot and found himself battling for the win with a couple laps left. While working on the leader, the car had a terrible “push” and ended up falling back to finish fourth after being passed by track points leader Don Hardinger of Vernal and Levi Pummell of Vernal.

Howard will now get set to do battle at the Battle Mountain Raceway in Battle Mountain, Nevada when the Wild West Modified Tour rolls into Nevada.
