Matthew Larson won the USRA Late Model main event.

Brutally cold temperatures, damp air and breaks of sunshine is what Mother Nature sent Ogilvie Raceway for the 20th Annual MTH Fall Classic presented by FYE Motorsports on Saturday.

An impressive 310 drivers signed in to battle over the duration of the weekend, and an even more impressive number of fans came to sit and watch the best battle for the title of Fall Classic champion.

Charlie Olson and Lucas Peterson brought the USRA Late Models to the stand for their feature event, and Olson claimed the lead while Matthew Larson and Peterson kept close to Olson as the top three separated themselves from the field.

Peterson dropped back on the track while Larson remained glued to Olson. A quick caution was triggered for debris, but as the race resumed Olson was in command.

Olson tried to speed away, however Larson kept close. With five laps to go, Larson nosed ahead at the line. He secured the lead the final couple laps and took the checkers for his first ever USRA Late Model win.

Olson, national points leader Cade Nelson, Zack Drews and Peterson grabbed positions two through five.

When the final checkers had flown, countless laps were turned and the 2023 MTH Fall Classic presented by FYE Motorsports was officially in the books. Thank you to all the drivers and fans who enjoyed hours of race action at "The Big O."
