What won the race: Third-starting Jason Feger of Bloomington, Ill., led all 50 laps Saturday at Sycamore Speedway to capture the $7,000 Harvest Hustle weekend finale. Feger's victory is the first of his career with the Missouri-based Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association.

Quotable: "We tried a little bit of different stuff tonight, it was really good and the car worked awesome, we just got a really good jump there on that start and I was just going to try and keep it on the bottom as much as I could and try and make them guys pass me or make a mistake," an emotional Feger said. "You’ve got to dedicate this to Rick Eshelman. Our sport lost a great guy today, there’s no one like him, he always made you smile and talked to everybody and was just a great guy. I’m glad we were able to pick up the win and we will honor him tonight and think about him and get back to work."
