Jason Patison clinched the ASA Hoosier Tire West Modified Series Championship at the Havasu 95 Speedway on November 27, 2006.

After winning the trophy dash at Havasu, Patison raced against 23 other cars for the 50-lap main event. The first 5 laps of the low-banked 3/8 mile oval track were a side-by-side run for the lead between Patison and Dean Kuhn. Patison eventually completed a pass around the outside and never let go of the lead.
