Mike Marlar celebrates Saturday's $15,000 payday at Atomic.
What won the race: Completing a sweep of the Valvoline American Late Model Iron-Man Series-sanctioned Night the Stars Come Out weekend, Mike Marlar of Winfield, Tenn., held off charges from Devin Moran of Dresden, Ohio, to capture Saturday's 40-lap feature at Atomic Speedway. The 47-year-old racer beat Moran by 1.162 seconds for a $15,000 payday, pushing his two-day earnings to $20,000.
Key notes: The victory was Marlar's second in five starts over the past three weekends since his return to driving for team owner Ronnie Delk. ... Marlar scored his fifth career Iron-Man triumph and his fifth overall win of the 2025 season. ... Marlar led the entire distance and Moran was the runner-up for the second straight night. ... Jason Jameson slipped by new Rattliff Racing driver Josh Rice for third on lap 25 and finished in the position. ... Tyler Carpenter also overtook Rice late, taking fourth on lap 33 to finish in the spot while Rice settled for fifth. ... Colten Burdette clinched the Iron-Man tour's championship despite finishing 21st after retiring on lap 10 following a turn-two scrape with Rice and a lapped car that sent him spinning out of fifth place. His closest pursuer in the standings, Rusty Schlenk, opted to race on Saturday at Montpelier (Ind.) Motor Speedway. ... Camaron Marlar, the winner's younger brother, scratched from the feature with mechanical issues.
On the move: Seth Daniels started 15th and finished 11th.
