What won the race: Surging into the lead when Tad Pospisil hopped the cushion on the 19th lap, fifth-starting Chad Simpson of Mount Vernon, Iowa, paced the final 12 circuits of Saturday's King of the Bullring 30 at Winneshiek Raceway. Simpson beat fast qualifier Jason Hahne to the line by 1.017 seconds for the $3,000 payday, his second Malvern Bank East Series victory of the season and 10th of his career.

Quotable: "I just felt like I could charge the corner a little bit harder than the rest of those guys," Simpson said. "They were kinda wanting to whoa up and run around that bottom and they could run the top, but they were having to let up. Man, I just put this thing to the floor and she just rolled."
