What won the race: Winning for the second time in three series races, Charlie McKenna of Ames, Iowa, earned $3,000 Saturday at Scotland County Speedway on the Malvern Bank East Series. The second-starting McKenna kept the fourth-starting Jake Neal in check all race long, winning by 0.620 of a second in the 25-lapper.

Quotable: "You knew if you bobbled once, Jake (Neal) was gonna have you, and so you just had to try to keep pressure," McKenna said. "And then we got to the lappers, and were kind of running where I wanted to be, and I wasn't sure what I was gonna do with them. And then somebody bobbled and I was able to kind of pick a way through. And then it's like, 'Well, I wonder if there was room for Jake to get through there too or not ... I didn't know if he made it or not, but I thought, 'Man, I just squeezed through. I can't believe he got through too.' "
