Jason Hahne, fresh off his $3,000 Malvern West victory Thursday at Iowa's Hamilton County Speedway, led the opening 10 laps before giving way to Tad Pospisil and eventually Simpson, then regained the runner-up spot from Pospisil on the 20th lap. ... The fourth-starting Pospisil of Norfolk, Neb., led laps 11-18 before slipping to fifth at the checkers. ... Tenth-starting Jesse Glenz and Blair Nothdurft slipped by Pospisil on a lap-28 restart, dropping him to fifth. ... The race was slowed by two cautions, the first eliminated Lance Matthees and Darrel DeFrance on lap 13. ... Polesitter Fred Remley faded to 11th before he was eliminated in a lap-28 stoppage along with Harrison Horn, who was making his Late Model debut. ... The 30-lapper lasted 11 minutes with 12 starters completing the distance.
