MUSKOGEE, Okla. (Oct. 7) — Quickly grabbing the lead from his starting spot outside the second row, Terry Phillips of Springfield, Mo., led all 25 laps Sunday afternoon at Thunderbird Speedway.

Phillips earned $5,000 for the Thunderfest victory postponed by Saturday rain as he avoided a spinning car in the final laps to hang on. The race was co-sanctioned by the MARS DIRTcar Series and Comp Cams Super Dirt Series. | Slideshow

Newly crowned MARS champion Jesse Stovall, Friday night’s $3,000 winner, rallied from ninth to finish second in the finale while Justin Wells of Aurora, Mo., was third. Tony Jackson Jr. of Lebanon, Mo., and Justin Zeitner of LaVista, Neb., rounded out the top five in the MARS season finale, slowed by a single lap-23 caution.

Phillips collected his fifth MARS victory of the season and series-leading 81st of his career. ... Stovall claimed his first Late Model touring title. ... Drivers failing to make the feature lineup: Jacob Magee, Jeremy Morris, Brooklin Stephens and Dillon Rupe. ... The MARS banquet will be scheduled for December. ...
