What won the race: Cruising most of the way, Logan Arntz of Vestaburg, Mich., repelled Rich Neiser on the last lap in Saturday's feature at Thunderbird Speedway to capture his first career American Ethanol Late Model Tour victory. Arntz led all 40 laps to earn $4,000.

Quotable: "I don't know if (pursuers) were one spot behind me or if they were 20 cars behind me. I just drove every lap like it was the last one and I wanted to win," Arntz said. "I got real scared when that lapped traffic came up. I didn't know if I should try and go high or just chill out on the bottom, because I knew it rubbered up a little bit. So I decided to stay on the bottom and I'm really glad I did."
