What won the race: Series points leader Chad Simpson of Mount Vernon, Iowa, went around Tony Jackson Jr. on the seventh lap and led the rest of Saturday’s 40-lap Ron Jenkins Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway for an $11,000 payday. Simpson notched his third Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association victory of the season in finishing 3.5 seconds ahead of his younger brother Chris Simpson.

Quotable: "Them guys got a little better jump on me, but I knew that top would come in eventually, for at least a little bit," Simpson said, thanking his sponsors and supporters. "This one here is a big hats off to my crew guy. He told me midrace there to get off the top and get down to the middle and that got us pulled away."
