What won the race: Tyler Erb of New Waverly, Texas, led all but three circuits of the 50-lap Missisippi State Championship Challenge Series feature to secure a dominant $2,500 victory. The rising 20-year-old beat Dane Dacus of Lakeland, Tenn., to the finish line by a commanding margin of 5.930 seconds.
Quotable: “I love going to Magnolia Motor Speedway, and it’s really cool to finally win a race there,” Erb said. “This season is off to a fantastic start, and I’m pumped to get back to points racing with the World of Outlaws in a few weeks. I want to thank my family, my team, and my sponsors for their awesome support.”
