What won the race: Retaking the lead just before Skeeter Estey slowed with a flat right-rear tire on the 17th lap, second-starting Shane Sabraski of Rice, Minn., paced all but five circuits of Sunday's 51st annual Red Clay Classic for an $8,000 WISSOTA Late Model victory at ABC Raceway. Sabraski led twice for 45 laps (1-10, 16-50) and crossed the line 0.725 of a second ahead of Ashley Anderson for his second career Red Clay Classic Late Model triumph (2024).

Quotable: "Trying to get by some lappers there, the top was really good at the beginning and (Estey) got by me. He was trying to get by some lappers, I think, I was able to slip back by him when he was caught up behind some guys," Sabraski said, later adding that "I gotta give a hats off to all you guys. I never thought last night when we were standing in the rain, I never would’ve thought we’d be racing today, but you guys did an awesome job."
