Kris Jackson won the USRA B-Mod main event.


Track points leader Kris Jackson of Lebanon took over the lead on lap 4 and held off Jake Richards by a car length for his third Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win of the season Saturday at the Lucas Oil Speedway.

Front-row starting Wesley Long led three laps and was battling Eric Turner for the lead when Long spun in turn four to bring out a caution. That put Turner into the lead, followed by Jackson, Richards and J.C. Morton.

After the restart, Turner and Jackson raced side-by-side for several laps before Jackson took the lead coming to the start-finish line to complete lap 12. From there, Richards gave chase and was on Jackson's tail as the laps wound down.

Just as Richards appeared to making a pass for the lead coming to the white flag, a car spun in turn four - right in front of Jackson - to bring out the caution. Jackson was elevated back to the lead for a two-lap shootout with Richards and Morton right behind.

Jackson hung on to prevail, finishing just .337 seconds in front of Richards with Morton in third, Andy Bryant fourth and Turner finishing fifth.

"That was a blast," Jackson said, praising the track crew after a heavy downpour on Saturday morning. "We woke up this morning and thought this track might be rough again, but these guys, you could tell the put in the time and the effort. This racing surface was awesome tonight."

Donaldson takes USRA Stock Car win: Fourth-starting Gary Donaldson of Rayville passed Derrick Agee with three laps remaining and went on to take the feature in the American Racer USRA Stock Cars, a guest class for the evening.

Donaldson and Agee, who started on the front row, dueled side-by-side for four laps until Donaldson finally made the pass. Donaldson then pulled away and finished about five car lengths in front. Brett Heeter finished in third.

"I remember Derrick Agee. He was at I-35 (Speedway) for the big $3,000-to-win shootout we had," Donaldson said. "I didn't really know the guy, but I know him real well now. He is a fast driver and he made me earn that sucker.

"I kept trying on the bottom and he started protecting. I moved up and I got around him on the outside, but he didn't make it easy. It sure was fun and it's sure great to be here. USRA Stock Cars at Lucas Oil Speedway, yeah, baby."

Cody Agee demolished his car as he hit the wall in turn four as the checkered flag waved, but he crawled out of the car uninjured.


Gary Donaldson won the American Racer USRA Stock Car main event.
