What won the race: Polesitter Bill Leighton Jr. of La Vista, Neb., led flag-to-flag to win Saturday's 35-lap Malvern Bank West Series event at Off Road Speedway. He beat Chad Holladay by 1.944 seconds for the $3,000 top prize. Leighton won a series event at Off Road for the fourth time and first since 2017.

Key notes: Leighton’s triumph was his first of the season and the 21st of his career on the Joe Kosiski-promoted tour. … After nearly hitting the turn-three wall on the opening lap, Holladay trailed Leighton the entire way en route to his runner-up finish. … Hometown racer and series points leader Tad Pospisil started and finished third. … Sixth-starting Blair Nothdurft finished fourth after taking the spot on lap 21. … Dylan Sillman improved six positions and placed ninth. … The race’s lone caution flag flew on lap 24 when 10th-running Derrick Stewart slowed before requiring a push to the pits. He was the lone retiree of the 16-minute event. ... Sixteen drivers finished on the lead lap.

On the move: Chris Spieker of Massena, Iowa, started 11th and finished fifth.
