Bobby Pierce picked up his ninth victory of the season at Kankakee.
What won the race: Recording his eighth victory in his last 14 starts, 17-year-old Bobby Pierce of Oakwood, Ill., cruised to a $2,000 payday and his seventh career series victory. Pierce won by a near half-track margin over Dennis Erb Jr. while Brian Shirley, polesitter Kevin Weaver and Ryan Unzicker rounded out the top five.
Key notes: The feature was slowed by several cautions. ... Jay Morris of Pittwood, Ill., is Kankakee's reigning Late Model champion; he finished seventh in Friday's event. ... Pierce has nine total victories in 2014. ... Randy Manos scratched from the main event. ... The event served as Kankakee's season opener. ... Both ALMS East and West competitors were in action; the tour split into two divisions for 2014 with separate champions, although some races are on both schedules.
On the move: Erb rallied from his 11th starting spot to finish second.
Winner's sponsors: Pierce wheels a Bob Pierce Race Car with a Pro Power Racing Engine and sponsorship from Champion Spark Plugs, M&M Painting and Construction, Murphy Trucking, Petersen Aluminum and the Pierce Posse.
Points chase: With his victory, Pierce extended his lead in the West Region point standings; Rusty Schlenk of New Weston, Ohio, tops the East Region.
