Trevor Latham won the USRA Modified main event.
The Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, Okla., resumed Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series action Saturday night for the 49th annual Season Championships honoring Tillman Evans with Trevor Latham and Daniel Tarkington finding their way into victory lane.

Brian Williams of Fayetteville, Ark., was third while Lonnie Robins of Alma, Ark., and Brent Holman of Rogers, Ark., completed the top five.
In Out-Pace USRA B-Mod action, Tarkington ofChecotah, Okla., topped the 22-car feature field with Pocola's Allen Owen Jr. settling for runner-up honors.
Just as he did in the Modified main event, Brian Williams wound up with a third-place paycheck while another Fayetteville, Ark., racer, Todd Broyles, finished fourth. Stilwell's Drake Long finished fifth.
