What won the race: Terry Neal of Ely, Iowa, lost the lead to Andy Eckrich of Oxford, Iowa, on lap 37 of the 40-lap feature but regained over the final circuits and held on by a matter of inches for the thrilling $3,000 triumph.
Key notes: Four drivers led laps during the A-Main. ... Tommy Elston led the opening 15 laps before being passed by Nate Bueseling, who held sway until the second-starting Neal gained command for the first time on the 30th lap. ... Neal led laps 30-36 before his four-lap, lead-swapping duel to the finish with Eckrich. ... Neal's victory was the 20th of his career on the IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series but first since July 3, 2011, at Quincy (Ill.) Raceway. ... The Late Model feature was moved up on the program's schedule by officials due to curfew concerns. ... Jackson County's event was the lone Deery Brothers race of weekend after wet conditions postponed Farley (Iowa) Speedway's event.
On the move: 16th-finishing Rob Moss of Iowa City, Iowa, earned the race's hard-charger award, rallying forward from the final starting spot.
