What won the race: Pole-starting Mike Marlar led all 50 laps at Ponderosa Speedway en route to Friday's $12,000 win in the 19th annual John Bradshaw Memorial. Marlar notched his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory of the season and the 18th of his career. It's his third overall win of the season.

Quotable: “You know your tires will cool off and the track bleeds, things happen under caution. It’s usually a good thing, especially if you’re in the lead, gives you a clean track,” Marlar said. “You drive these cars on just such a fine line on every little thing you do in there, adjusting brakes. It’s cool that the John Bradshaw Memorial has gotten to be as big as it’s gotten to be, I came here to race when they first dubbed it, it was $5,000-to-win.”

Key notes: Seeing his three-race Lucas Oil Series win streak snapped, Hudson O'Neal of Martinsville, Ind., settled for the runner-up position, 0.574 of a second back. ... Third-finishing Brandon Overton of Evans, Ga., secured his second podium of the weekend. ... Jonathan Davenport and Ricky Thornton Jr. each advanced one position, finishing fourth and fifth. ... Josh Rice gained four spots and finished sixth. ... A night after his 18th-to-seventh drive at Ohio's Atomic Speedway, Tyler Erb moved forward eight spots and finished eighth. ... Zack Dohm started 12th and finished ninth. ... Earl Pearson Jr. drew the race's first caution on lap 21 with a failed radiator. ... Friday's feature was slowed by two incidents and lasted 16 minutes, with 13 competitors completing all 50 laps. ... The event paid tribute to John Bradshaw, who had taken over as Ponderosa’s promoter to begin the 2003 season, but died after running only a handful of events.

On the move: Tyler Erb of New Waverly, Texas, started 16th and finished eighth.
