What won the race: Taking command with an outside move by early leader Jeremy Steele, fourth-starting Brandon Burgoon of McDonald, Pa., overcame several late-race restarts to lead the final 34 laps of Saturday's $10,000 14th annual Bill Hendren Memorial at PPMS. Burgoon bagged his first career RUSH Crate Late Model Series victory and his third of the season at PPMS, adding to June 1 and June 15 local RUSH Crate triumphs.

Quotable: “I can’t believe this, this is awesome. The way the night was going, it’s almost like the same as last night … quick time, I won my heat, finished fourth in the dash, so I’m like ‘what’s gonna happen next,’” Burgoon said. “That car was so good the entire race, it did get tight a couple times, but I was able to adjust the way I was driving it and it would take off every time.”

Key notes: Jeremy Steele led the opening six laps from the pole before slowing from third and pulling off on lap 22. He was credited with 24th. ... Twelfth-starting Jeremy Wonderling and Michael Norris traded runner-up honors multiple times over the second half, with Wonderling taking the spot for good on a lap-34 restart and finishing 3.578 seconds behind Burgoon. Wonderling's runner-up lifted him to the RUSH points lead, one marker ahead of teenager Brock Pinkerous. ... The 10th-starting Norris, of Sarver, Pa., settled for third. ... Dillon Brown momentarily took third when Steele slowed, before slipping to finish fifth. ... Devin Brannon advanced 12 spots and placed ninth. ... Five incidents slowed the racing action in the final 13 laps, including the race's first stoppage on lap 28 when Zach Gunn slowed from 17th. ...

Mason Zeigler, winner of Friday's $4,000 weekend opener, nosed hard into the frontstretch wall on lap 36, bringing out the fourth yellow flag.

The event honored Bill Hendren, the founder of Hendren Racing Engines which revolutionized and perfected the Crate engine. Bill died on March 19, 2011, but his impact on Crate Late Model racing live on through his sons, Steve and Mike Hendren, who continue to operate the family business. ...
