Capturing feature wins on Public Safety Appreciation Night presented by KOLR on Saturday at the Lucas Oil Speedway were Kris Jackson (Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods), Kevin Blackburn (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and James McMillin (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars).

Lebanon's Jackson earned his seventh USRA B-Mod feature victory of the season, holding off Cody King by about three car-lengths.

Jackson led all but one lap in bouncing back after blowing a motor the previous night at the Lebanon Midway Speedway.

"I couldn't do it without my guys," Jackson said. "We blew up a motor last night. Luckily Jim (Ruble) was working on a guy's motor and he allowed me to use it tonight. My new motor is not quite done.

"This is about the time of the year when we put a fresh one in. I probably pushed it a little too late and put one too many races on it. I just asked a little too much out of it."

Jackson, who started on the pole, relinquished the lead only once. That was on lap two when JC Newell beat him at the start-finish line by a few feet coming off turn four.

But Jackson regained the lead just two turns later and was on his way to victory.

Bryant worked his way from his seventh-starting position into second by lap nine. He and Cody King swapped the runner-up position over the next five laps with King in second when the race’s fifth caution flew on lap 14 with Jackson holding a 1.3-second lead.

King outdueled Bryant over the final six laps, but he was no match for Jackson as the five-time track champion won by one-second. Bryant finished third with Terry Schultz fourth and Newell winding up fifth.

Jackson is in prime position to earn his sixth track championship next Saturday in the regular-season finale. He began the night 58 points ahead of JC Morton and Morton wound up in sixth, meaning an unofficial 77-point gap between the two.

Blackburn earns first Modified triumph: It was all Kevin Blackburn in the USRA Modfied featured. Staring up front, the Fulton driver led all 20 laps for his first feature win of the season in four attempts at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Blackburn had finishes of second, third and sixth earlier this season at the speedway and finally got the win. He beat runner-up Shad Badder by 4.5 seconds with Chase Jones rallying from ninth to third.

In 19 total races this season, Blackburn had four second-place finishes and has only been out of the top 10 only three times.

“We’ve been fast this year,” Blackburn said. “We’ve been there, we’ve been there, we’ve been there... but couldn’t get a win. I’m proud. This is our first win at Wheatland. We raced a bunch here when I was a kid. I’m proud to be standing here.”

Kyle Ledford finished fourth and Jason Pursley wound up fifth. Season points leader Dillon McCowan started tenth and finished eighth. McCowan unofficially has a 69-point margin over Ryan Middaugh who finished 19th.

McMillin outruns Griggs for Stock Car win: James McMillin of Warrensburg emerged from a terrific battle with Ed Griggs and picked up his third Medieval USRA Stock Car feature win of the season.

McMillin and Griggs started on the front row and they spent the opening two laps side by side, swapping the lead with John Coats and David Hendrix right behind. That was a preview of what the 20-lap race would become.

The race was red-flagged on a lap-three restart as Darren Phillips, second in track points, rolled his car in turn one. He crawled out without injury with the safety crew quickly extinguishing a small fire underneath the hood.

As action returned to green, McMillin and Griggs resumed their battle. McMillin took over the lead on lap five - the third and final lead change of the race. Griggs pulled alongside and attempted to pass lap after lap coming out of turn four, but could not complete the pass as McMillin had momentum off the high groove.

"I think that's what is pretty cool about these Stock Cars. They're all pretty even, really," McMillin said after his third Lucas Oil Speedway feature win of the season. "If you can get four or five of them up there, that's the most fun you can have in racing."

McMillin was able to open a gap over the final three laps and wound up 1.6 seconds in front of Griggs. Points leader Hendrix was third with Coats fourth and Burl Woods fifth.

Hendrix unofficially holds a 184-point lead over Phillips with one week of points racing remaining.

Season Championships next: Champions in all four divisions of the Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series will be crowned next Saturday on Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night Presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet-Buick.

Gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05 for the final racing program of the regular season.
