Dean Wille won the Medieval USRA Stock Car main event.

Dean Wille earned his second Medieval USRA Stock Car feature win of the season, holding off William Garner by a car length Saturday night at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo.

Wille, of Warresnburg, started fifth and he took over the lead from Rodney Schweitzer coming off turn two on lap 4. But Schweitzer used the inside groove to regain the top spot the next time around.

The order stayed that way until they flipped positions again on lap 13 as Wille edged by and William Garner was right behind the top 2.

Garner advanced into second on lap 16 and pressured Willie the rest of the way, but could not get by. Wille prevailed by 0.341 second. It was Garner's second straight runner-up finish.

"We were just a little bit tight tonight but we figured out enough to make it happen," Wille said of the car. "Somebody was there on me and got me plumb sideways on that last lap. That's racing. It made it fun. We were tight at the end and causing me to be higher on corner exit than I wanted to be."

Schweitzer finished third with Ed Griggs fourth and Robert White taking fifth.

Matt Johnson of Adrian captured his second Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modified feature win in five attempts this season at the Lucas Oil Speedway, leading all 20 laps.

He finished 3.2 seconds in front of Dustin Hodges.

Johnson started on the pole and immediately grabbed command, running off to a four-second lead over Hodges nine laps into the event.

But a caution wiped out that big margin and bunched the field for a restart.

Once again, Johnson exerted his dominance and drove off to win by nearly a straight-away margin as the final 11 laps went without a caution.

Along with his two wins, Johnson has three other top-five finishes at the speedway this season.

Hodges edged 2019 and 2020 track champ Robbie Reed for second. Reigning points champ and 2022 championship leader Dillon McCowan wound up fourth and Nic Bidinger was fifth.

"This track is amazing right now," Johnson said. "I'm blessed to have my family with me tonight and I couldn't be happier.

"I was worired about my tires sealing over and I tried not to run too hard. But hats off to Scott Bailey Racing Engines and Tommy McCoy has this MB Customs on a rail."
