What won the race: Sliding back by Tony Jackson Jr. and taking control for good on the 17th lap, polesitter Terry Phillips led the rest of Saturday's 30-lap Turkey Bowl XX at his home track of Springfield Raceway. Phillips beat Jackson by 0.884 of a second for the $6,020 payday, his first Late Model Turkey Bowl triumph and fourth feature win of the season.

Quotable: "That was fun. Really both races, I just fell off (and finished second) in the modified," Phillips said. "(Jackson) went blasting by me. When you’re leading you don’t know what lane to run, ya know? He went by me, I’m like ‘Okay’ and just tried to stay patient. It all worked out. We got this Late Model going pretty good. Shawn Mann of Mann Motorsports, he’s put me in a good ride here."

Key notes: Phillips led twice for 18 laps (1-4, 17-30) en route to his first hometown win since a MARS DIRTcar West victory on May 10, 2014, worth $3,000. ... Second-starting Tony Jackson Jr. used a turn-one slide job to take the lead from Phillips on lap five and paced the field until Phillips regained control by working his way underneath Jackson and nipping him at the line by 0.011 of a second to lead the 17th lap. Jackson never seriously challenged Phillips again, as Phillips pulled away after a lap-29 restart. ... Lucas Oil regular and 2024 Turkey Bowl champ Dillon McCowan spun from third in turn one at the start of the 29th lap, triggering the race's lone stoppage. McCowan restarted ninth and finished eighth. ... Kylan Garner surged to third on the late restart. ... Reigning Turkey Bowl winner Sawyer Crigler slipped as low as seventh on lap 21 before recovering to finish fifth. ... Tyler Kuykendall gained three spots to place sixth. ... Rodney Melvin finished seventh aboard a Robby Moore-owned No. 11k entry. ... Talan Willis worked his way as high as fourth by lap 13 until retiring on the 22nd lap. ... The 30-lap feature lasted 11 minutes with nine starters completing the distance and 20 running at the checkers. ... Miller Rountree, apparent second-place finisher in the night's third consolation, was disqualified and failed to make the main event.

On the move: Scott Crigler of Alton, Mo., started eighth and finished fourth.
