What won the race: Leading all the way Friday at 300 Raceway's Truck Country 50, pole-starting Tyler Erb of New Waverly, Texas, captured his second Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series of the season as the tour ended a long, weather-caused hiatus. Erb, who won despite crunching a portion of his rear spoiler, fought off series points leader Brandon Sheppard in the final laps for a $12,000 victory.

Quotable: “I ran second (at Farley) last year. The other year we came I think I ran second too (in 2019),” Erb said. “I really like this place. You don’t really know what you’re gonna get. Tonight I don’t feel like it really rubbered so it was a really good race, changed around a lot. But it was nerve-racking because I could tell in three and four I started slowing way down.”

Key notes: Tyler Erb has 18 career Lucas Oil Series victories. ... In his previous three series visits to Farley Erb had two runner-up finishes and a fifth-place finish. ... Erb also won eight nights earlier in MARS Racing Series action at Farmer City (Ill.) Raceway. ... Brandon Sheppard finished second for the third time in a row; he was competing as an official Lucas Oil driver in the Rocket Chassis house car for the first time. ... Three cautions slowed the action, including a lap-48 yellow for debris. ... Chad Simpson's flat left-rear tire drew a lap-42 yellow. ... Bobby Pierce was running fifth when he pulled pitside with an overheating car on during the lap-32 caution; he apparently had a hole in his radiator. ... The first caution appeared on the 32nd lap when sixth-running Tyler Bruening slowed with a flat right-rear tire. (Bruening was in action in his home state after recently dropping off the World of Outlaws Case Late Model Series, where he had been as high as fourth in points.). ... With a rain-plagued stretch, the national tour returned to action for the first time since April 10.

On the move: Jimmy Owens of Newport, Tenn., started 18th and finished fifth.
