Richie Gustin led the final 11 laps for his Independence victory.
What won the race: Second-starting Richie Gustin of Gilman, Iowa, overtook race-long leader Justin Mitchell with 11 laps remaining Saturday at Independence Motor Speedway and grabbed his first career Deery Brothers Summer Series victory. Gustin earned $2,000 in the second night of the Highway 20 Triple Crown.
Key notes: Gustin is the tour's 98th all-time winner; his sister Jenae finished fourth in the night's modified feature. ... Tyler Bruening of Decorah, Iowa, crossed the finish line third, but his rear end's axle housing failed postrace inspection. ... The feature ran caution-free. ... Runner-up and polesitter Justin Mitchell of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was also looking for his first series victory. ... Luke Goedert picked up the $250 Sunoco Race Fuel drawing. ... The race at Independence was a makeup of a rainout the previous weekend. … Cash bonuses totaling $1,500 will be added to purses paid during the three-race Deery series weekend. Drivers who compete at all three events are eligible for bonuses based on points for the weekend.
Winner's sponsors: Gustin's MasterSbilt Race Car from Gheer'd Up Race Cars is sponsored by HALRbuilt, T&R Concrete, D.T. Marriott Enterprise and Wehrs Machine.
Points chase: Entering the weekend, Tyler Bruening (76 points) of Decorah, Iowa, leads the series points race over Scott Fitzpatrick (68) of Cedar Falls, Iowa, and Darrel DeFrance (67) of Marshalltown, Iowa.
