Qualls Triumphs in the 2024 CRUSA Modified Ice Bowl Feature
(Eastaboga, AL – January 4, 2025) – Bradly Qualls of Centerville, TN delivered an impressive performance at the 2024 CRUSA Modified Ice Bowl, winning the 35-lap main event and taking home a $2,500 payday. The CRUSA Modified Sportsman division began the weekend with a strong field of 52 entries, but it was Qualls who stood above the competition in the feature race.
Starting from the pole position, Qualls led the way throughout the event, holding off stiff competition from Jeff Smith, who finished in second place, and David Brannon, who completed the podium in third. With his commanding victory, Qualls proved to be the class of the field, showcasing both skill and strategy on a challenging track.
The 35-lap feature event saw plenty of action, with multiple drivers battling for position throughout the race. Tyler Wood made a late charge to finish in fourth place, while Cory Hillman rounded out the top five. Despite some early-race drama, including disqualifications for Logan Hickerson and Scottie Hiett, Qualls was able to maintain his lead and hold off any challengers for the victory.
The two B-Mains earlier in the evening helped set the stage for the main event, with the top-four finishers from each B-Main earning their spots in the feature. The second B-Main saw Tyler Wood and David Pollen earn their way into the feature, while Todd Sherman and Matthew Brocato emerged from the first B-Main.
