What won the race: Outside front-row starter Willie Milliken of Roanoke Rapids, N.C., raced to a $5,500 Steel Block Bandits Dirt Late Model Challenge victory in Saturday’s Edwards Family Memorial at Lake View Motor Speedway. He finished ahead of Shaun Harrell and Derrick Quade.

Quotable: “This one is special, I wanted this one more than any other," Milliken said. "My wife (Crystal, a member of the Edwards family) works so hard on this race and it was time to bring one of her nice trophies back to our house. The car was flawless, we are really making gains on this Barry Wright chassis and I’m excited about these last two races."
