What won the race: Leading all the way from outside the front row, Tristan Chamberlain of Richmond, Ind., dominated the first of two Baltes Classic 25-laps at Eldora Speedway for a $5,000 payday and his first Valvoline American Late Model Iron-Man Series victory. Chamberlain took the checkers 3.257 seconds ahead of third-starting Brandon Overton with sixth-starting Max Blair in third.

Quotable: "If you want to win a race, this is where you want to win it. This is definitely the biggest race I've ever won," Chamberlain said, adding that "I felt like I didn't breathe those last five laps when I got the lapped traffic. But being out front was definitely everything, being in clean air. I could feel — as soon as I got to lapped cars how loose my car got — but thankfully we were able to hold 'em off on those cautions and get this win."
