Jon Sheets won the USRA B-Mod main event.

A total of 119 cars checked into the pits for Casey's Thursday Night Thunder presented by State Tech feature at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri.

Jon Sheets of Nevada started up front and led all 20 laps to earn the Clear Creek Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature over Shadren Turner.

Sheets started on the pole and led Turner through the first nine laps, opening a nearly-one-second lead. That’s when the first caution came out for a two-car mishap in turn two. The two leaders broke away after the restart with Turner pressuring Sheets for the lead.

Turner briefly went in front on lap 14, but Sheets crossed back over in turn three to regain the top spot. They were separated by 0.356 second when a lap-16 caution slowed the field, leaving four laps to settle the outcome.

Sheets took advantage of a slip by Turner on the restart and rolled away to his second feature win of the season. He finished 1.3 seconds in front of Turner with Trevor Drake third, Logan Smith a season-best fourth and Andy Bryant fifth.

"We have a really good racecar right now," Sheets said after knocking down his 10th feature win of the season overall. "Big props to Eagle Machine. They make good power, and J2 Chassis, they're awesome, and our whole list of sponsors."

Johnson earns USRA Modified triumph: Matt Johnson led all 20 laps, overcoming a couple of restarts after cautions, to beat Robbie Reed for the Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modified win.

Johnson, from Archie, used the outside groove to lead fellow front-row starter Reed on the opening lap. By lap four, Johnson had built a 1.6-second lead over Reed with Chad Lyle running in third. That’s when action slowed for a caution.

Johnson’s domination continued after the restart, with his lead swelling to 2.3-second at the midpoint on lap 10, with Lyle having moved past Reed for second. Three laps later, the race’s second caution flew to set up a restart with seven laps left.

There were no problems for Johnson the rest of the way. He drove to a 1.6-second win over Reed. Dayton Pursley, a USRA Modified rookie after moving up from B-Mods, finished third with Houston Johnson fourth and Lyle fifth.

"Thank you to all the fans for showing up. I know it was an iffy deal with the weather but they did an awesome job," Johnson said of the track.

Stock Cars cut short: After three cautions before an official lap could be completed in the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars feature, lightning began moving into the vicinity and the feature was postponed.

CMH Diamond Nationals next: The 18th annual CMH Diamond Nationals presented by Summit Racing Equipment is set for Saturday, July 13.

Action features the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and MLRA Late Models. The Arctic Food Equipment USRA Modifieds will be in action along with the O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars.
