Andy Bryant won the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod main event at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., on Saturday, June 16, 2018.

In a classic finish with a race for the win and a duel for third that decided the mid-season championship, Andy Bryant won the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod feature Saturday night at the Lucas Oil Speedway with Taylor Moore taking the midseason title.

Both made decisive, last-lap passes.

Mid-season champions in each division received $500 in bonus money courtesy of Victory Lane Magazine and Lucas Oil Speedway.

Bryant and Moore both used last-lap magic to earn trips to victory lane to celebrate in the feature. Bryant earned the feature victory with a pass of Kris Jackson and Moore's pass gave him third place over J.C. Morton, just enough to give him the points edge.

Jackson led the first 19 laps until Bryant, the 2017 track champion, found a way past him for his second straight feature win.

"I didn't think the top on three and four would work, but it did and we came home with the W," Bryant said. "Coming to the white, I knew I could get him (in turn two) but I didn't know if it would stick in three and four, but I had to try it."

Meanwhile, Moore had to overcome hard-charging 2016 track champ Morton—who began the night one point behind Moore in the points race. As Moore started up front, Morton worked his way from a 17th starting position into fifth when the race's first caution bunched the field on lap 11, putting Morton one position behind Moore in the running order.

Two laps after the restart, Morton slipped past Moore and into third as Jackson and Bryant continued to run 1-2. But another caution, with three laps to go, set it up for a final shootout for those top four and what amounted to two separate match races.

And what a finish it was. Bryant and Moore both used the high groove to make decisive, last-lap moves as Bryant went past Jackson in turn two and Moore went around Morton coming out of turn four to send both to victory lane to celebrate. He finished five points ahead of Morton to earn the bonus check.

"It was nice starting up front. We're usually about mid-pack," said Moore, who recorded his fourth top-five finish in five starts. "Man, it's awesome. We've been plugging along and getting top-fives. That makes it nice."

In the USRA Modifieds, Evan Hubert captured the feature and Darron Fuqua clinched the mid-season title in a program presented by the Bolivar Herald-Free Press.

Hubert prevailed in a race-long duel with Jon Sheets to capture the feature win. Hubert led all 20 laps, but it was a battle with Sheets and then others over the final four laps.

"That was awesome. The track was good, too," Hubert said. "Everybody was moving around back there it looked like. We've got things figured out for the most part."

While the run was solid, it was not without a hectic afternoon.

"Today was a heck of a day," Hubert said. "We had to change a motor about 2 o'clock."

A lap 16 caution, when fourth-running Lance Town spun in turn four, gave Sheets and third-place Mike Striegel a final chance to overtake the leader. But Hubert was up to the challenge, hanging on for his second feature win of the season.

Fuqua was a solid third place and that was good enough to give the four-time feature winner the mid-season points title. Striegel finished fourth and four-time defending track champ Jeff Cutshaw wound up fifth.

Fuqua, of Mayetta, Kan., completed a solid first two months with his sixth top-five finish in eight starts.

"There's a whole bunch of people that help out. I couldn't do it without their help," Fuqua said.
