A total of 117 cars, including 56 USRA B-Mods, entered for the special program kicking off the 4th of July holiday weekend during Lucas Oil Speedway's "Thursday Night Thunder" presented by Casey's General Stores and KY3.

Andy Bryant of Fort Scott, Kan., breezed to victory in the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature, leading all the way for his second Lucas Oil Speedway feature victory of the season.

Bryant started on the pole and grabbed early command with J.C. Morton moving from fourth to second on the opening lap. They were separated by just under on second when the race's first caution came out on lap five.

As the 20-lapper went caution-free the rest of the way, Bryant checked out and won by 3.17 seconds over Morton. Jon Sheets finished a season-best third with points leader Kris Jackson in fourth and Robbe Ewing in fifth.

Despite his dominance, Bryant said he always was aware of where Morton and the rest of the contenders was.

"Always. Everybody here... this is always the most-competitive track we race at week to week," Bryant said. "Those guys don't let you take a breath."

Wolff runs away: Tyler Wolff of Fayetteville, Ark., took over the lead on lap four and then ran away and hid from the field in the Pitts Homes USRA Modified feature.

Wolff, who started the feature sixth, wound up nearly half a lap in front of second-place Terry Schultz.

"It was like driving a Cadillac," Wolff said of his win. "My Dad did a good job of putting the set-up on this thing today. We worked pretty hard in the heat. It's rewarding. It was easy to drive and that's good because we've been having a little bit of trouble, so we'll take it."

Wolff was 20th in his only other Lucas Oil Speedway appearance this season, though he did win two features in two attempts at the track in 2019.

Kyle Thompson slipped past Tracy Wolf for the lead on lap two in a race plagued by three early cautions. Wolff made it three leaders in four laps when he went around  Thompson on the outside after a lap-four restart.

Wolff pulled away after a lap-13 caution and distanced the field, prevailing by 7.3 seconds over 13th-starting Schultz. Wolf settled for third with Darren Shaw fourth and Mark Dotson fifth.

Next up: Racing at Lucas Oil Speedway resumes on Saturday, July 11 with Veterans and Military Appreciation Night presented by KOZL 27. All Veterans and military personnel with ID will be admitted free. The Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods will be the evening's featured class running for a special 25-Lap, $750-to-win main event. Along with USRA Modifieds, Mod Lites will make their first appearance  as the guest class
