Kyle Berck climbed on his car's window sill to celebrate in Corning.
What won the race: Kyle Berck of Marquette, Neb., overtook series points leader Tad Pospisil of Norfolk, Neb., shortly after a lap-11 restart and raced to his third victory of the season on the Nebraska-based Super Late Model Racing Series. Berck notched his 59th career SLMRS victory with Pospisil falling to fourth behind Bill Leighton Jr. and Ben Schaller.
Key notes: Pospisil piloted Andrew Kosiski's No. 53 after having engine problems in his own No. 04 Friday at I-80 Speedway. ... Leader J.C. Wyman's car hit the berm and rolled in turn three on the 11th lap of the main event; he wasn't injured. ... Pospisil inherited the lead but Berck went ahead a few laps later. ... The tour made its second visit to Adams County. ... The $2,000-to-win purse paid a healthy $300-to-start. ... Southwestern Community College was the night's sponsor.
On the move: Ben Schaller of Omaha, Neb., rallied from 12th to third.
