What won the race: Subbing for a recovering Scott Ward, polesitter Cody Overton of Evans, Ga., overcame a two-lap dash to the finish for a flag-to-flag victory in Sunday's 40-lap Structural Buildings WISSOTA Challenge Series-sanctioned 14th annual Marilyn Olson Memorial at Casino Speedway. Overton beat Chad Becker by 0.9 of a second for the $3,000 payday, his first career WISSOTA Challenge Series victory and fourth overall win of the season.

Quotable: “I just can’t thank Scott (Ward) enough. This whole weekend, this is the only one I kinda wanted (to win), I know he’s won this deal two or three years in a row,” Overton said before adding, “The whole Ward family, they’ve been nothing but nice. They treated me like family as soon I got here and let me do what I enjoy doing.”

Mike Stearns slipped by points leader Tyler Peterson for third on lap 21, bringing Matt Gilbertson along a few laps later. ... Gilbertson held fourth until tangling with Kevin Eder on lap 39, sending Eder spinning as Overton raced towards the white flag; series officials pinned the caution on Gilbertson, who retired rather than tagging the field. ... Eder took fourth on the late restart, dropping Peterson to fifth. ... Besides the lap-39 caution for Gilbertson and Eder’s tangle, the race was slowed by two other cautions, including lap nine when Ryan Mikkelson and Zach Johnson spun as they battled for 15th.
