What won the race: Inheriting the lead when his son's car broke on the final lap, 74-year-old Delmas Conley of Wheelersburg, Ohio, picked up a $3,000 victory in the 30-lap AMRA Championship event at Atomic Speedway. Delmas assumed command when track champion Rod Conley slowed exiting turn four on the final circuit due to a broken yoke on his car's transmission.

Quotable: "Actually I ran second, that was Rod's. He had it won. I don't know what broke on his car. ... " Conley said. "I tried him every way in the world and I just couldn't seem to get around him. Like I said, I ran second ... he broke, so that put me in first. It was his race to win."

Key notes: Delmas Conley notched his fourth overall victory of the season. He also won in March at Atomic. ... Five of the 20 starters finished on the lead lap. ... The STARS event also wrapped up Atomic's AMRA weekly points. ... STARS competitors return to Atomic Oct. 8 to close the first-year series that absorbed Buckeye Late Model Dirt Week.

Winner's sponsors: Conley's Rocket Chassis has a Draime Racing Engine and sponsorship from Conley Trucking, Conley River Terminal, Poske's Performance and Shaim Custom Decals.

Points chase: Entering the Skyline-Atomic weekend, Tyler Carpenter of Parkersburg, W.Va., has 1,192 points to lead Rod Conley (1,130) and Zack Dohm (1,105) in the STARS title chase.
