Mason Beck won the Medieval USRA Stock Car main event.

Mason Beck picked up is fifth Medieval USRA Stock Car feature win of the season on Saturday night at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., leading all 20 laps and beating Waylon Dimmitt.

Beck, fifth in Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points, started fourth but had the lead by the end of the opening lap with Wettengel second and Dimmitt third. Beck hit the halfway mark with a 1.8-second command over Dimmitt with Wettengel well back in third.

But a lap-10 caution, when Wettengel spun in turn two, brought out the caution flag. Beck continued to lead the way after the restart and had a commanding 1.7-second lead when a lap-18 caution set up a two-lap sprint to the finish.

Beck went on to win by about six car lengths over Dimmitt, with William Garner third, Dean Wille in fourth and Chris Dishong rallying from 12th to fifth.

"These last couple of weeks have been rough on us," Beck said. "We can't quite hit it right on set-up. We got spun when we've been in the lead. I figured since Todd Staley of USMTS (the USRA President) was here, I'd show him what us Stock Car boys can do here at Lucas."

USRA B-Mod feature goes to Gillmore: Ryan Gillmore of Springfield wrestled the lead away from J.C. Morton on lap seven, lost command for a couple of circuits and then seized command again and drove away for the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win.

Gillmore moved into second on lap three and was within a car length of the leader by lap six. The time around, Gillmore dove to the inside to make the pass out of turn four for his first lead.

But on the next lap, Gillmore got loose and nearly spun in turn two, cutting into the infield to regain control of the car.

He fell back to third, but quickly recovered and regained the top spot on lap 10. He opened up a 1.6-second lead by lap 14 and had to battle his way through lapped traffic.

"Early I thought I had the right idea to go to the bottom where (the track) hadn't been sealed, but I was dead wrong," Gillmore said. "I was able to get to J.C. and... I don't really know for sure. But I almost looped it and ran through the infield. I started running the heck out of it after that."

Gillmore cruised through the traffic and kept pulling away. He prevailed by 3.3 seconds over Morton for his third victory of the season.

Logan Smith finished third, Shadren Turner fourth and Mitchell Franklin came home in fifth.
