What won the race: Seventh-starting Kyle Hardy of Stephens City, Va., took the lead on lap 12 and cruised to win Friday's $3,000 RUSH Crate Late Model feature at Potomac Speedway. Hardy notched his 10th career RUSH main event win and his second Battle of the Bay Speedweek triumph of the week after topping Wednesday's $3,000 opener at Delaware International Speedway.

Quotable: "Anytime we can win in this car ... my family-owned car ... it's just been a dream to ride," said Hardy, who notched his 100th career feature victory. "I've raced Super Late Models every year since 2009, and I've really started messing with these Crates the last couple of years. It's been a lot of fun. ... I can't say enough about this race car."

Key notes: Hardy's fifth career Battle of the Bay Speedweek victory moves him into a tie with Logan Roberson for the most in RUSH Series history. ... Trevor Collins led laps five through 11 and earned his third consecutive runner-up result of the week, finishing 1.289 seconds back. ... Nick Davis advanced five positions and finished third. ... Bryce Davis led the first four laps before fading to finish seventh. ... Austin Hubbard gained the most positions for the second consecutive race. ... Winner of Thursday's second round Max Blair finished 13th. ... Friday's feature, the penultimate Speedweek race, was slowed by five cautions and lasted 26 minutes with 18 competitors completing all 30 laps. ... The RUSH Crate Late Model Series Battle of the Bay Speedweek concludes with one final $3,000-to-win show on Saturday at Winchester (Va.) Speedway.
