J.C. Morton celebrated his second feature win in as many attempts at the Lucas Oil Speedway after a last-lap pass Saturday night propelled him to the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod main event win.

J.C. Morton used a dramatic last-lap pass Saturday night to make it two-for-two in feature victories this season in the Out-Pace USRA B-Mod division at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Morton slipped past Brian McGowen on the final circuit and held on to capture the headliner of Saturday night's Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series by less than one half-second over McGowen.

Morton, of Springfield, wound up in victory lane after starting 16th. He took home $750 for the win, continue a great start to his 2019 season in defense of his track championship.

"That's a heck of a run there from 16th," an excited Morton said. "The track is pretty racy. I have to thank all my sponsors and thanks to all the fans who came out tonight. Without you, we couldn't do this on a weekly basis."

McGowen started fourth and took over the lead from pole-starting Dillon McCowan on lap six. Meanwhile, Kris Jackson advanced from seventh and into second by lap 10 with Morton moving into third by lap 16.

Morton slipped underneath Jackson on lap 20 as both gave chase to McGowen with five to go.

"With five laps to go I screwed up down here and lost like five car lengths," Morton said.

Just as it looked as if McGowen would be able to hang on, Morton worked the inside line after taking the white flag and made a low-side pass stick in turns one and two.

"When the white flag came out, at the flag stand I was going to go to the top," Morton said. "Then I said, 'no, it ain't there.' I went in there and hit the rut just right. Unbelievable. Thank the Lord."

Jackson finished third with Robert Heydenreich fourth and Andy Bryant, who started 21st, rallying for fifth.

Robbie Reed started on the pole and went on to lead all 20 laps for the USRA Modified feature.

"It was a good track tonight, a lot smoother than it was two weeks ago. I love coming down here," Reed said. "There's always a lot of good cars down here and good drivers."

Reed, of Mexico, Mo., finished 1.433 seconds ahead of runner-up Chase Domer with Paden Phillips taking third and Jason Pursley fourth.

The feature had five cautions and saw Darron Fuqua, the reigning USRA Modified National Champion, pulled into the infield with eight laps to go. Fuqua wound up 12th.

Robbie Reed won the USRA Modified feature.
