Matt Johnson turned the tables on Friday night's Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified winner Dillon McCowan, this time driving to victory over McCowan for the $1,000 prize Saturday night at the Lucas Oil Speedway.

Johnson, of Archie, grabbed the lead from McCowan on lap 10. He stretched it from there, finishing four seconds in front after winding up a similar distance behind McCowan a night earlier.

"We're glad to be here and glad to be back in victory lane," Johnson said. "I really enjoy racing with Dillon. It's nice to see the next generation of the sport coming up. I've been at this for 20-some years. He's a great kid and does a good job and I look forward to racing with him in the future."

Andy Bryant wound up third with Cody Brill fourth and Jason Pursley fifth.

White rallies for Medieval USRA Stock Car triumph: Seventh-starting Bryan White of Lebanon took over the lead on lap nine and went on to capture the 20-lap O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Car main event.

White battled his way past Ed Griggs, the leader through the opening nine laps. He beat Wilson Garner by a half-second for the feature win. Rodney Schweitzer was third with Robert White fourth and Dominic Thyfault fifth.

"This class is really fun," said White, who needed only four laps to work his way into the top five. He was able to go from third to first four laps later, going past Griggs and Burl Woods.

Jackson captures USRA B-Mod feature: Six-time Lucas Oil Speedway track champion Kris Jackson held off Ryan Gillmore by .623 seconds to take the season opener for the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mods.

The race was plagued by four caution flags in the first half of the event, but once the action settled, Jackson and Gillmore put on a show. Gillmore slid past for the lead on lap 13 and Jackson did the same to regain command the next time around.

The Lebanon driver held on from there as Gillmore never was more than three car lengths behind. While it was Jackson's first win at Lucas Oil Speedway this season, it was his seventh overall in 2022.

"I want to thank Ryan Gillmore for a heck of a race," Jackson said. "He was probably better than me there. He just gave me one little shot in the rear to let me know he didn't like me dancing all over the place. It's dirt racing. I think he would have done the exact same thing. It was a good, clean race. At least I think, any way."

Tyler Kidwell finished third, Jon Sheets was fourth and Matt Dotson wound up fifth.
