Tad Pospisil takes his final checkers at I-80 Speedway.
What won the race: In what's expected to be the final event at I-80 Speedway, Tad Pospisil of Norfolk, Neb., took the lead on lap 25 Saturday and never looked back, pacing the final 29 circuits for a $5,300 payday at I-80 Speedway. Pospisil's victory is the 32nd of his career with the Malvern Bank Series and his sixth with the Hoker Trucking Series.
Key notes: Saturday's co-sanctioned finale served as the final event in I-80 Speedway's 19-year history, as the Kosiski-owned facility is scheduled to shutter the gates. ... Pospisil has won three of the last four Malvern-Hoker events at I-80. ... Justin Zeitner of Malvern, Iowa advanced 15 positions to finish second, 3.552 seconds back. ... Polesitter Bill Leighton Jr. failed to lead a lap and finished third. ... Jesse Sobbing of Malvern, Iowa finished fourth and clinched his first career Malvern Bank Series championship. ... Justin Kay of Wheatland, Iowa gained six positions and finished sixth, securing his second consecutive Hoker Trucking Series title. ... Chad Holladay advanced seven positions and finished eighth. ... Zach Zeitner gained five spots and finished ninth. ... Ben Schaller moved forward eight positions and finished 10th. ... Four-time Malvern Bank Series winner this year, Kyle Berck ran as high as third before pulling off on lap 31. ... Jake Neal led the first 24 laps before being overtaken by Pospisil and retiring on lap 30. ... Saturday's feature, the season finale for both Iowa-based touring series, was slowed by four cautions and lasted 31 minutes, with 13 drivers completing 53 laps.
On the move: Justin Zeitner of Malvern, Iowa started 17th and finished second.
