—Terry Schultz led wire-to-wire to capture the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod 25-lap feature, the headline event Saturday night on Lucas Oil Speedway's Veterans and Military Appreciation Night.

Other feature winners on the program presented by KOZL were Rob White (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars) and Dustin Hodges (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds).

Schultz, of Sedalia, won for the seventh time overall in 2022. After a pair of fourth-place feature runs earlier in the season at Lucas Oil Speedway, Schultz said it was sweet to break through in the tough field.

"We've had a good car for a long time," Schultz said. "I've got to thank Bobby and Sherry (Russell) for letting me drive it. We've been right up near the top two or three all the time, but just hadn't been able to get one here."

After two mishaps before an official lap could be completed, Schultz grabbed the lead from fellow front-row starter Colson Kirk with JC Morton running third.

Six-time track champion and 2022 points leader Kris Jackson started eighth in the feature but already advanced four spots when a caution stacked the field after lap six. Meanwhile, Andy Bryant also was zooming through the field after his heat-race win was went away due to a technical disqualification and he was fifth by lap eight after starting 20th.

But Bryant would advance no further and neither would Jackson. The race remained caution-free the rest of the way and Schultz held on for his first Lucas Oil Speedway feature win of the season.

Schultz beat Kirk by 1.1 seconds with Morton capturing third, Jackson taking fourth and Bryant a distant fifth.

White earns narrow Stock Car triumph: Scoring his first O’Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Car feature win of the season, Rob White held off fellow Lebanon resided William Garner by less than a half-second.

Rob White went around the outside of Christopher Sawyer for the lead on lap four after Sawyer led the opening four laps. Garner moved in second one lap later and engaged White for the lead, sticking to the back bumper of the leader until the end as the race clicked off caution-free over the final 18 laps.

White held on to prevail by .411 seconds or about a car length.

"I think us Lebanon boys got 1-2-3 tonight," White said in victory lane. "I'd like to thank my family. My wife's not here, but I want to thank her and ... just everybody that helps. This is awesome."

Bryan White, Rob’s son, finished third with David Hendrix fourth and Ed Griggs in fifth.

Late pass sends Hodges to USRA Modified win: Dustin Hodges worked and worked and could not get by leader Eric Turner on the outside. So Hodges switched strategy coming to the white flag and made a diving, low-side pass for the lead.

The Centralia driver made the pass hold up, going on to beat Turner by .673 seconds to score the Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified victory for his first Lucas Oil Speedway win.

“We’ve been working hard on getting it done here at Lucas Oil Speedway for many, many years and finally got it,” Hodges said.

Front-row starting Cody Brill beat Turner on the drop of the green and led the first five laps before Turner gained the top spot on lap six with Hodges moving into the runner-up position by circuit 10 of the 20-lapper.

Hodges could get alongside Turner on the outside in turns three and four, but couldn't get past. He said he looked up at the video board with laps running out and knew he had to do something.

"Man, I knew I was way faster than he was and I was just trying to do it up through the middle," Hodges said. "He kept drifting all the way up. I didn't want to get into him. I knew I was running out of laps so I had to take it.

"The car is phenomenal right now. That's two-for-two for the weekend. It's awesome."

Hodges also won on Friday night at Callaway Speedway. He has six feature wins overall this season.

Brill finished third with Tracy Wolf fourth and Jason Pursley fifth. Points leader Dillon McCowan, who was DQ’d in tech after a heat-race win, started 14th and rallied for sixth.

Diamond Nationals next on the dirt: The 16th annual CMH Diamond Nationals presented by Summit Racing Equipment are up next Saturday night, featuring the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series along with the Lucas Oil MLRA. Also on the program will be USRA Modifieds and USRA Stock Cars.

Pit and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and opening ceremonies at 7.
