What won the race: Second-starting Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville, Ill., led flag-to-flag to capture Saturday's $5,000 second annual Ira Bastin Memorial at Brownstown Speedway. Erb notched his 27th career Northern Allstars Late Model Series feature victory, moving him one shy of Don O'Neal on the Midwestern tour's all-time wins list.

Quotable: “We had a good race car here tonight,” a soft-spoken Erb said. “The race track was in great condition for all the weather that we’ve been having. (NALMS) is a great series, we ran it a long time ago and to be able to pick up these races all throughout the weekend and that, it’s just a good series to run. We were real happy with it back in the day and hopefully it will continue to get bigger.”
