Tyler Wolff won the USRA Modified main event.

Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway it was Midseason Championships presented by the Bolivar Herald-Free Press with Tyler Wolff (USRA Modifieds), Mason Beck (USRA Stock Cars) and Jon Sheets (USRA B-Mods) capturing the feature wins.

Meanwhile, Ryan Middaugh (USRA Modifieds), Jaylen Wettengel (USRA Stock Cars) and J.C. Morton (USRA B-Mods) were named Midseason champions.

Wolff rolls to USRA Modified win: Tyler Wolff overwhelmed the field in the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified main event, leading all 20 laps to score a runaway victory over Trevor Hughes.

From outside the front row, Wolff beat pole-starter Hughes into turn one and set the pace. Wolff pulled away in dominant fashion and opened a 4.5-second lead by lap 10.

With action remaining caution-free the rest of the way, Wolff cruised to the victory by nearly six seconds over Hughes.

"This is my favorite place to win," said Wolff, who made an eight-hour drive after a USMTS race on Friday night in Wisconsin. "There's always a good crowd here with so many good fans. We're glad to be here."

Jason Pursley wound up third, Kenton Allen fourth and Jeff Cutshaw fifth.

Middaugh, the reigning track champ, had a rough night but captured the midseason championship with his ninth-place run.

"We've just been struggling with this car. We can't find the balance that I like and tonight we were really bad," Middaugh said. "We'll go through it and try to get better."

Beck takes USRA Stock Car thriller: Mason Beck of Urbana won a classic duel over the final laps with William Garner to claim the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature win.

Jaylen Wettengel of Topeka, Kan., finished third and it was enough to nail down the midseason championship for him.

Beck, who started sixth, drove around the outside of Wettengel to take over the lead on lap five of a feature plagued by six cautions. Wettengel started up front and paced the first five circuits, with two cautions slowing the action.

Beck, Wettengel and William Garner were all battling for the top spot when a lap-nine caution interrupted the competition. Beck moved to the high side after the restart and was able to open a one-second lead by lap 12 with Garner second and Wettengel third.

Just as Beck was establishing control, a fourth caution flew to erase his 1.2-second lead on lap 13. Garner pulled alongside Beck after the restart, with the two dueling three straight laps until a fifth caution came out with four to go.

The leads came to the white flag side-by-side and Beck was able to hold on at the finish by .043 seconds - less than a half-car-length.

"That was a good race," Beck said. "Me and Will always race hard. We always put on good races for everybody. He's a heck of a wheel man, too. We've raced together since I started."

Wettengel wound up third, which was just enough to give him the midseason championship. He has two runner-up finishes to go with one third.

"There toward the end I was watching the whole race and it was a good race," Wettengel said. "I'm not too mad about the results," Wettengel said.

Rodney Schweizer finished fourth with James Ellis fifth.

Sheets goes wire-to-wire in USRA B-Mods: Jon Sheets of Nevada led all 20 laps and held off midseason champion JC Morton of Springfield for the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature win.

Sheets started on the pole and set the pace from the green, opening a one-second lead over third-starting Ryan Gillmore by lap five. Gillmore cut the margin to a half-second by the midpoint, lap 10, with JC Morton two more seconds behind in third.

The leaders found lapped traffic on lap 14, and that proved to be an issue for Sheets. He made heavy contact with the suddenly slowing car of Christopher Watts, causing major body damage to the right side of Sheets’ No. 8. But Sheets never stopped rolling and that allowed him to maintain the first position for the restart.

Gillmore slipped on the restart, allowing Morton to take second as Sheets opened a four-car-length lead. Morton moved to the high side and cut in to the lead coming to the third flag with Gillmore also right behind.

Sheets, body damage and all, held on by .280 seconds for the victory over Morton, with Gillmore third. Eric Turner finished fourth and Mitch Keeter was fifth.

"I sure thought he was going to stay in the middle," Sheets said of the slowing lapped car. "Obviously that caused us a lot of work this week. Luckily enough we were able to hold on. I could see JC coming there. It's kind of a thing that you're praying the laps are going to run out soon enough."

Morton’s finish was good enough to give him the midseason points championship.

"We just have to keep maintaining it," Morton said in looking ahead to the remainder of the season. "You keep the top-five finishes going and you'll be there at the end of the year."
