It was a busy night for drivers this evening at North Central Arkansas Speedway, with an extra five feature races on tap that were rained out earlier in the season.

In the first Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature, Jason Snodgrass led the field off turn four to get the race underway but the high lane was the place to be early as both Steve Muilenburg and Kandy Methvin moved past him by the end of lap one.

A late-race caution bunched the field but Muilenburg was able to hold off Methvin and Snodgrass after the restart to claim the win.

In the Len West Memorial 30-lap Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature, Muilenburg and Sawyer Crigler set the pace to get the race underway.

Crigler made it to the front of the field for lap one, but Methvin topped the leaderboard on lap two.

A single-car spin slowed the race on lap three, allowing Crigler to restart close behind the leader but Methvin quickly pulled away as the cars cycled back to full speed.

Muilenburg moved past Crigler on lap six but was never able to close on Methvin. Methvin was the leader at the end, but was disqualified after the post-race inspection, giving the win to Muilenburg.

Racing action continues Friday night, Sept. 15. North Central Arkansas Speedway is located between Yellville and Flippin on Hwy. 62-412. For rules or information please visit the speedway website at www.ncaspeedway.com.
