What won the race: Inheriting the lead when race-long leader Cole Searing spun midway through, sixth-starting Chad Becker paced the final 16 laps to win Friday's $2,000 Repairable Vehicles.com Tri-State Series feature at Brown County Speedway. Becker earned his third career Tri-State victory and his second in as many nights after topping Thursday's $3,000 weekend opener at Dakota State Fair Speedway.

Quotable: “Oh I tell you what, it was a blast, that’s one of the funnest races here so far for me,” Becker said. “I mean you could run top, bottom, through the middle. Running behind Cole (Searing) was fun there, ya know, I just knew that it was getting a little hairy over there, so you had to kinda mind your Ps and Qs, but it was awesome. It was fun; car would go anywhere. I loved it.”
