Kris Jackson won the USRA B-Mod main event.

Saturday was Public Safety Appreciation Night presented by KOLR at the Lucas Oil Speedway where Dustin Hodges, Mason Beck and Kris Jackson picked up the feature wins for the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series.

Hodges captures USRA Modified thriller: Dustin Hodges scored his second USRA Modified feature victory of the season, emerging on top after a frenetic battle with points lead Dillon McCowan over the final two laps.

Hodges, of Centralia, finished 2.4 seconds in front of Eric Turner after retaking the lead from McCowan coming out of turn 2 after the white flag had waved. McCowan wound up spinning before reaching the finish line and wound up 12th.

The result sets up a dramatic final-night of the points battle next Saturday. Hodges unofficially closed to within 17 points of McCowan.

"Man, the cautions were killing me," said Hodges, who briefly lost the lead to McCowan as the duo came to the white flag. "I seen Dillon coming out of four, seen his nose, and knew he had the run.

"I hurried up and threw some front-brake in it and let her eat down in one. Thankfully, we came out on top," Hodges added in victory lane.

Jimmy Dowell started up front and led the opening lap, with Hodges slipping past him on lap two. A caution slowed what was shaping up to be a hot, early battle up front that found Jeff Cutshaw and McCowan running third and fourth.

The race had a rough time settling into any sort of flow, with cautions after each of the first three laps. Once green flag conditions remained consistent, Hodges started to pull away and had a 2.5-second lead over McCowan by the mid-point on lap 10.

But the fourth caution waved on lap 11, wiping out Hodges’ three-second lead.

McCowan closed onto the rear of Hodges’ car coming to the start-finish line with two laps to go, then pulled alongside and briefly took the lead on the inside coming to the white flag.

Hodges used a crossover move coming out of turn two to regain the lead and McCowan spun in turn four in a last-ditch effort to pull out the win.

Ryan Middaugh finished third with Dowell fourth and Cutshaw fifth.

Late pass ends Beck to USRA Stock Car win: Mason Beck of Urbana thought he had race-long leader Johnny Fennewald passed a couple of times, only to see caution flags wipe out the efforts.

But finally, Beck charged past Fennewald with three laps remaining to pick up the Medieval USRA Stock Car feature.

Fennewald started up front and led through 10 laps and, just as Beck challenged him on the inside in turn two, the race’s first caution flew. Those two renewed the battle for the lead as action resumed, with Dean Willie and Rodney Schweitzer right behind.

The scenario repeated itself for Beck again three laps later, with another caution appearing just as he had made a pass out of turn two. The scoring revered to the previous completed lap, leaving Fennewald on top once again.

Fennewald held off repeated efforts by Beck over the next three laps until another caution set up a four-lap shootout.

Beck was able to make the pass as the race resumed, using the inside groove in turn two. The Urbana driver was able to hang on from there, beating Fennewald by three car lengths for his second straight feature victory.

"I'm surprised I was patient," Beck said. "I'm usually not that patient. One time I pulled up beside him and made a little contact with him. He came up under caution and let me know that I was number one. It was a good battle. It was pretty fun."

Bryan White wound up third with Dean Willie fourth and Schweitzer fifth. White will unofficially take a two-point lead over Beck into the season championship program.

Jackson notches another USRA B-Mod win: Closing in on his seventh USRA B-Mod track championship, Lebanon’s Kris Jackson earned his sixth feature victory of the season in the next-to-last points program of 2022.

Jackson led all 20 laps and beat Ryan Gillmore, his nearest competitor in the points chase, by 1.2 seconds. Gillmore passed Terry Schultz with three laps remaining to get into second and unofficially stands 30 behind Jackson.

"This one means something. Last time we were here we started on the pole and got third," Jackson said. "I had to think about that for two weeks. So we put a little extra time and effort into it tonight."

Jackson beat fellow front-row starter Gillmore at the drop of the green and set the pace, opening a one-second led over Schultz and 1.8 over Gillmore when a lap-seven caution slowed the action.

It didn’t take Jackson long to rebuild his leading margin as the race returned to green flag action. He navigated through lapped traffic before a caution with three laps to go gave the pursuers one more chance.

The advantage of the caution for Jackson was a clear track ahead of him. He took advantage and sailed to the win, finishing about eight car lengths in front of Gillmore with Schultz winding up third.

Jackson, who began the night 25 points in front of Gillmore, earned his 22nd feature victory overall this season.

Andy Bryant finished fourth and J.C. Morton, who started 16th, rallied to fifth.

Season Championships next: Season champs in each of the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series divisions will be crowned next Saturday at the Rempfer Memorial Season Championship Night presented by Bill Roberts Chevrolet Buick and On Media.

Pit and spectator gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7:05.
