What won the race: Winning his second straight MARS tour event, series points leader Ryan Unzicker of El Paso, Ill., led all 40 laps Sunday at Adams County Speedway for a $5,000 victory.

Quotable: “It’s just a great feeling to win two in a row,” Unzicker said in victory lane.

Doug Tye's lap-14 spin in turn four collected third-running Tyler Erb, who had to restart on the tail. ... A second and final caution appeared when Johnathan Huston stopped exiting turn four just past halfway. ... Austin Howes made his first career MARS start. ...
