What won the race: Overtaking outside polesitter Tripp Gerrald of Lexington, Ky., on lap 15 of 30, sixth-starting Hudson O'Neal of Martinsville, Ind., led the rest of the way to score a $3,000 Schaeffer Oil Iron-Man Series victory in Ponderosa Speedway's 20th annual Pete Abell Memorial.

Key notes: O’Neal notched his second straight victory; he was the winner of the July 29 Paul Crockett Memorial at Brownstown (Ind.) Speedway. … The 16-year-old O’Neal became the youngest winner in Iron-Man series history. … In nine events, the Iron-Man tour has had nine different winners. ... The 30-lap feature had three leaders: Brandon Kinzer (first lap), Tripp Gerrald (laps 2-14) and O'Neal (laps 15-30). ... The race was slowed by two cautions. … The first yellow flag waved on lap five when Skylar Marlar slowed on the frontstretch. … Carder Miller spun in turn two to draw another caution on the lap-five restart. … Todd Coffman was slated to start on the pole, but had to take his No. 35 pitside before parade laps because it was leaking fluid. ... Recovering from a leg injury sustained after losing a drive shaft in Tazewell (Tenn.) Speedway's Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals finale, home-state driver Chicky Barton's plans to enter the weekend's Iron-Man events were scratched as his car awaits repairs. ... Victor Lee of Danville, Ky., swept the Crate Late Model and modified feature events. ... Iron-Man action continues Saturday with a $5,000-to-win event in Brownstown, Ind.

On the move: Jason Jameson of Lawrenceburg, Ind., rallied from 17th to finish sixth.
