Winner Dennis Erb Jr. (28) and runner-up Jason Feger (25) at Peoria.
What won the race: Using a mid-race restart to overtake leader Mike Spatola, third-starting Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville, Ill., led the final 28 laps to win Saturday's 69th annual Illinois State Championship at Peoria Speedway. Erb earned a $5,000 DIRTcar Super Late Model victory for his third overall triumph of the season and his third career Illinois State Championship (2005 and '15).
Key notes: Mike Spatola led most of the opening 22 laps from the pole before giving way to Erb and eventually Jason Feger, then slowing from third on lap 31. Spatola was gunning for his second victory in as many nights after winning Friday's $3,000 Dirt Kings Tour stop at Sycamore Speedway in Maple Park, Ill. ... Feger, the winner a week earlier at Peoria, traded second with Spatola before reclaiming it for good on lap 30 and trailing Erb the rest of the way, taking the checkers 4.471 seconds back. ... Bob Gardner and Ryan Unzicker inherited third and fourth when Spatola retired. ... The main event was slowed once and lasted 17 minutes with nine drivers completing 50 laps.
On the move: Frank Heckenast Jr. of Frankfort, Ill., started 10th and finished fifth.
Winner's sponsors: Erb’s Rocket Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by J.R. McBride Leasing, McBride Mack, VolMac Truck Sales and Service, Ideal Ready Mix, Keyser Manufacturing, Fox Racing Shox, Collins Signs, Hoosier Racing Tire, VP Racing Fuels and Performance Rod & Custom.
