LEBANON, Ore. (Aug. 21) — Hometown driver Jason Wines raced to the front from his fifth starting spot at Willamette Speedway on Saturday and grabbed his third DAA Northwest Crate Late Model Series victory of the season. Wines earned $1,000 in a race cut to 29 laps from a scheduled 40 because of an 11 p.m. curfew. | Slideshow
Series points leader Greg Walters of Banks, Ore., was second followed by Jeremy Shank, Terry Ferrando and Jerry Schram.
The most serious of several slowdowns appeared when Russ Sell's car flipped on the frontstretch after a multicar accident. He wasn't injured but the delay for the red flag, and another scramble on the ensuing restart, forced officials to cut the race to 30 laps.
When a lap-29 caution appeared for debris, the checkers came out during the caution to mark the event's conclusion.
