What won the race: Ryan Gustin of Marshalltown, Iowa, raced to his first career victory on the Nebraska-based Super Late Model Racing Series, earning a $2,000 payday over Corey Zeitner of Omaha, Neb., and Randy Foote of Stanton, Iowa.
Key notes: Gustin nabbed his eighth victory of the season. ...

Pospisil was reported OK at the scene, while Shepherd was transported to the hospital for further observation. ... Kyle Berck of Marquette, Neb., had a rare off night in an otherwise dominant season, starting 22nd and finishing 12th. ... Polesitter Mike Collins of McClelland, Iowa, called it a night early. ... The weekend marked the Nebraska-based Super Late Model Racing tour's first trip to Lakeside. ... Friday and Saturday SLMRS features paid $2,000-to-win and $250-to-start, a boost over typical series purses. ...
