From there, Jackson Jr. assumed the point only to see the caution wave again two laps later when he and Jason Bodenhamer made contact in turn one.

Back underway, Tony held on for his first ever Super Late Model victory at Lucas Oil Speedway, taking the checkered flag ahead of Jack Sullivan, Jesse Stovall, Mark Burgtorf, and Chad Simpson.

"It was a wild one out there tonight," said Jackson Jr. "The rain this week left the track wicked fast tonight, and it made for some hard-nosed racing. It definitely felt good to get another win."

Full results from the event are available at www.MLRARacing.com .

Tony rounded out the weekend with a trip to Monett Speedway (Monett, Missouri) for the 44th Annual Four-State Dirt Track Championship at the historic oval. Thirty entries entered for action, and Tony started his night with a heat race win before racing to a sixth place finish in the feature.
