WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. Ahead of this weekends NASCAR Cup Series Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium, the NASCAR Modifieds kicked the festivities off with the inaugural Madhouse Classic.

Chris Fleming got the best of the 22-car field on Saturday afternoon to score the victory in the 125-lap event after starting from last place.

After the top two drivers, John Holleman IV and Danny Bohn, got together, it opened the door for Fleming to snag the lead late in the race.

Fleming would go unmatched the rest of the way to win over Burt Myers, Dan Speeney, Holleman and Brandon Ward.

Its probably the most historic race in the history of NASCAR Modifieds and Bowman Gray especially, Fleming said. To win it for my family was big. You know were a tight-knit family group.

My sister was at home, but she was texting me this morning. We eat at each others house and its just a family effort. My car is housed in Franks (Fleming) shop.

Im overwhelmingly blessed to the point I just cant believe how Gods been to me. Its gonna take me awhile for this one to sink in.

Former Cup Series champion Bobby Labonte finished 13th while current RFK Racing driver Ryan Preece finished 17th.
