Jason Rauen takes the checkers at Knoxville Raceway.
What won the race: Jason Rauen of Farley, Iowa, overtook race-long leader Josh Leonard on a lap-10 restart Saturday at Knoxville Raceway and grabbed his first career Malvern Bank Super Late Model Series victory.
Key notes: Rauen became the tour's 32nd winner. ... Jason Wallace's turn-two rollover drew a red flag on the 10th lap; he was uninjured. ... Because of the evening's rain delay, the feature was cut to 18 laps. ... The feature, on the undercard of the 16th annual Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, pays $4,000-to-win for the invitation-only event. ... Rauen owns the Brian Birkhofer entry in the Lucas Oil competition.
On the move: Kyle Berck of Marquette, Neb., started 16th and finished eighth; Josh Krug of Omaha, Neb., started 25th and finished 10th.
Winner's sponsors: Rauen's Black Diamond Chassis is sponsored by Arnie Ranta and PPG Paints.
