What won the race: Overtaking polesitter Dallon Murty on the fourth lap, series points leader Bobby Pierce of Oakwood, Ill., cruised the rest of Wednesday's 40-lap World of Outlaws Late Model Series feature for his third straight series victory. The fourth-starting Pierce took the checkers 0.808 of a second ahead of Nick Hoffman for his series-leading 13th triumph.

Quotable: "I hated seeing that caution with two (laps) to go because I really had a rhythm there, but, all in all, man, this is great," Pierce said. " I mean, to start this whole trip, these 10 races with three wins, this is just incredible. I definitely would not have thunk that heading into it, but here we are and we're just gonna keep plugging away and see if we can keep getting them."
