Wolff wins in dramatic fashion, Jackson nets fourth at Lucas Oil Speedway

Tyler Wolff won the USRA Modified feature.

Tyler Wolff won the USRA Modified feature.


In a program presented by OnMedia/DISH/DirecTV, Tyler Wolff passed points leader and seven-time feature winner Darron Fuqua coming to the white flag and then held on to grab the USRA Modified victory while Kris Jackson sprinted from his outside front row starting spot and into a lead he never surrendered in dominating the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature.

It was Ozarks Food Harvest Food Drive Night with fans bringing at least four non-perishable food items admitted free. Final totals won't be known for a few days, but last year, fans donated 7,813 pounds of food at the event, providing 6,510 meals to people in need.

Since the event at Lucas Oil Speedway started in 2008, more than 54,000 pounds of non-perishable food has been collected at the speedway.

Wolff, of Fayetteville, Ark., put a slide job on Fuqua going into turn 3 and made it stick. Fuqua hung on for second with Chase Domer, who led the first 15 laps, settling for third.

"That was awesome racing. I hope that it was all good and clean," Wolff said. "He's a good driver. That was exciting."

Domer started on the pole and took the lead with outside front row starter Lance Town and sixth-starting Wolff trading second place four times in a race that saw four cautions over the first eight laps.

As Domer and Wolff dueled for the lead, ninth-starting Fuqua climbed into third by lap 11 as he got past teammate Town. Fuqua, also the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points leader, took over the lead on lap 16 and appeared to be on his way to another win.

But Wolff had other ideas.

"I saw how Fuqua was making time in (turns) 3 and 4 I thought I'd better get after it," Wolff said. "Once I did the slide, I went to the bottom because I felt like I was pretty good there."

In Out-Pace USRA B-Mod action, the only mystery was whether Lebanon's Jackson could handle a lap-8 restart that wiped away a big lead.

He did, without any problem.

"I kind of felt like we were on a pretty good roll," Jackson said. "This was a horsepower track tonight. I can't say enough about what (engine builder) Jim Ruble does for us. I have a lot of people here watching me here tonight."

Jackson drove away to a three-second lead when caution brought Taylor Moore, Robert Heydenreich and J.C. Morton behind him for the restart.

Jackson, who's often been dominant this season in compiling 16 feature wins overall in leading the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod national points, drove away for his fourth Lucas Oil Speedway feature victory in in 2018 and second straight.

Moore finished about 10 car-lengths behind Jackson to earn second with points leader Morton third and Heydenreich in fourth.


Kris Jackson won the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature.
