Shannon Babb celebrates his ALMS victory at Farmer City.
What won the race: Diving under race-long leader Billy Moyer on the final lap, Shannon Babb of Moweaqua, Ill., claimed a $5,000 Sunoco American Late Model Series victory Friday at Farmer City Raceway.
Quotable: "It was just a helluva good race," winner Shannon Babb said. "(Moyer) is a blast to race with and Manville's doing a good job. This is a different car than we usually run here, and it wasn't quite dialed in, but it ended up getting us to victory lane. Hopefully we put on a good race for the fans. I'm tickled to death my mom, my granny, my wife and my new baby (were on hand)."
Key notes: Babb has three career ALMS victories, all of which have come in 2018; he previously won in series action at Farmer City on May 11. ... Runner-up Billy Moyer led 34 of 35 laps. ... Battling among the leaders late, third-finishing Allen Weisser posted his most impressive special-event performance in his rookie Super Late Model season, duplicating his DIRTcar Summer Nationals podium finish at Clarksville (Tenn.) Speedway. ... Fourth-place Jose Parga spun to draw a lap-18 caution but roared back to finish fourth. ... Jason Feger was battling Shannon Babb for second when he spun off turn four; he retired with eight laps remaining. ... Ryan Unzicker had a flat tire during the caution for Feger to knock him out of the top five. ... The event closes Farmer City's season. ... Mike Harrison won the American Modified Series main event.
On the move: Allen Weisser of Peoria, Ill., started ninth and finished third.
Winner's sponsors: Babb’s Rocket Chassis is powered by a Durham Racing Engine and sponsored by Petroff Towing, Donley Trucking, CJI Piping and Fabricating, Hunting for Hope and Kuebler Ultra Oil.
Points chase: Entering the event, Casey Noonan of Sylvania, Ohio, led the ALMS standings over Travis Stemler and Rusty Schlenk.
