Joe Duvall of Claremore, Okla., led all 20 laps to win the 20-car USRA Modified Invitational at the Lucas Oil Speedway on Thursday.

Duvall started on the pole after winning his heat race and opened a five-car-length lead over Peyton Taylor just four laps into the feature.

Following a lap-five restart, Tad Davis slid past Taylor for second.

Wheeler moved into contention on lap 11, powering his way to third behind Duvall and Taylor.

Over the next several laps, the top three opened a two-second lead over Davis in fourth.

Duvall was able to use an extended green flag run to pull away late and earn the victory with Taylor just holding off Wheeler for the runner-up position.

"The last restart I knew Peyton was on the outside of me and I heard him wind that big ol' motor up and... I thought, well it's time to go," Duvall said. "He showed me something down in (turns) one and two and I had just enough momentum to sneak up there stay in front of him. Then, I guess I pretty dang good the rest of the race."

Davis finished fourth with Paden Phillips recovering from an early spin to grab fifth.

The second half of a big week of racing at Lucas Oil Speedway will find Medieval USRA Stock Cars joining Sprint Cars and Hermitage Lumber Late Models on Saturday night.

Medieval USRA Stock Cars will compete in a 25-lap feature paying $750 to win.
