J.C. Morton won the USRA B-Mod main event.

Saturday's finale of the 15th Annual Slick Mist Show-Me Shootout presented by Foley Equipment at the Lucas Oil Speedway, winners on the Summit USRA Sweekly Racing Series program were Johnny Fennewald in the USRA Stock Cars and J.C. Morton in the USRA B-Mods.

The last race of the night had the closest finish as Fennewald rallied on the final circuit to beat Jaylen Wettengel in a side-by-side finish after losing a race-long lead on lap 18.

Fennewald started on the pole and set the pace at the start, with Wettengel moving from fourth to second by lap three. Wettengel ran about two car lengths behind the leader over the next 10 laps before drawing onto his back bumper.

With a good battle shaping up for the lead, the first caution flew on lap 13. After the caution, Wettengel pulled alongside and finally took the lead coming out of turn four on lap 18.

But Fennewald wasn’t done. He got a big rush of momentum going into the final turn and used the high side to beat Wettengel by a half-car-length at the finish line. The official margin was 0.082 second.

Regarding the last lap, Fennewald said, "I was being way too conservative on the bottom. I had a better car than I was putting on. I just moved up a little bit and started running the hell out of it."

Points leader William Garner was third, Waylon Dimmitt fourth and James Ellis fifth.

In the USRA B-Mod feature, Morton took the lead on lap seven after advancing from his seventh starting position and rolled to the victory.

Morton, of Springfield, Mo., beat Trevor Drake by nearly three seconds to claim his second feature win of the season at the Lucas Oil Speedway.

As the first feature after track work during intermission, Morton said the track came to him after a few laps and he was able to run strong in his Bloodline Race Car.

"It's really good," Morton said of the car. "We just have to keep this momentum going. We've been trying some stuff, keep testing some different things. We back back to where we were last year at the (USRA) Nationals and it was pretty good."

Morton, the Big Adventure RV Weekly Championship Series division points leader, shot to the lead out of turn four on lap seven with an outside pass of Rex Harris. He had a half-second lead over Harris on lap nine when the first caution flew.

The restart saw Morton roll to a one-second advantage over Trevor Drake before a lap-10 caution due to a six-car pileup against slowed the race’s rhythm. Morton quickly regained command, moving to the high groove for a two-second lead by lap 15.

Morton poured it on from there as the race remained caution-free, beating Drake by 2.7 seconds at the finish. Bobby Williams wound up third with J.T. Carroll fourth and Harris coming home fifth.
