Bobby Pierce reached victory lane Saturday at Tri-City.
What won the race: Bobby Pierce of Oakwood, Ill., overtook early leader Shannon Babb and cruised to a $3,000 victory in the weekend tripleheader finale at Tri-City Speedway. Pierce finished a straightaway ahead of Friday's winner Chris Simpson with track champ Gordy Gundaker in third.
Quotable: "We've been so close all weekend," Pierce said, "and finally getting a win kind of pays everything off and makes us feel really good."
Key notes: Pierce won the finale after sweeping all three Late Model races of Mod Mania each of the last two seasons. ... He and runner-up Chris Simpson had top-five finishes in all three weekend races. ... Early leader Shannon Babb retired running third the final laps. ... Ten drivers completed 30 laps. ... Jamie Wilson spun in the backstretch wall after a lap-24 scramble that included Jose Parga and Mark Voigt. ... Rick Salter drew a mid-race caution when he hit an infield tire, that rolled nearly halfway around the track. ... It's the third and final night of three straight at the St. Louis-area oval. ... UMP Late Models are on the undercard of the 13th annual Summit Racing UMP Modified Mania Dirt Nationals. … Ryan Unzicker of El Paso, Ill., won $2,000 in Thursday's opener and Simpson earned $2,500 Friday.
On the move: Tim Manville of Highland, Ill., started 20th and finished fourth.
