Defending track champion Brett Heeter topped a field of 31 Holley USRA Stock Cars and pocketed $3,000 for his efforts Friday night as the Lakeside Speedway hosted the "Gary Davis Super 66 Stock Car" race.

The event was held to honor and celebrate the track's long-time friend, official and fellow racer, Gary Davis. Also, the track welcomed Cars4Heroes, which presented a car to a member of the military while a Dash for Cash for all kids 12 and under was held at intermission.

Heeter, who has dominated the division this season at the historic half-mile oval in Kansas City, Kan., came from the fourth starting spot and held off fellow Kansas City pilot Kevin Anderson for the win. USMTS and USRA Modified standout Ricky Thornton Jr. of Chandler, Ariz., took home a third-place finish in his first Holley USRA Stock Car drive, with Jason Rogers of Selden and Blake Peeler of Trimble rounding out the top five.
