What won the race: Leading all 35 laps from outside the front row, Tyler Erb of New Waverly, Texas, earned a $5,000 Northern Allstars Late Model Series victory Saturday in his debut at Lawrenceburg Speedway. Erb took the checkers 3.499 seconds ahead of runner-up Devin Gilpin, who started ninth. Michael Chilton slowed late to give up the second spot while contenders Josh Rice and Tanner English also fell from contention after triggering cautions.

Quotable: "The B-mains were really good and, you know, I've heard 'It's rough, it's rough,' and that's about as good a racetrack you can get," Erb said. "Like I told them, there's only a select few of people that can run that cushion because you can blow through it really easily. And, yeah, (racing was done on) the top, bottom. I guess they were sliding, it looks like. from all the carnage. Yeah, it was a great racetrack."
