What won the race: Making a third-to-first move on the 14th lap under Tim McCreadie and Brandon Sheppard, fast qualifier Hudson O'Neal of Martinsville, Ind., led the rest of Friday's 40-lap World of Outlaws Late Model Series Hawkeye 100 prelim at Maquoketa Speedway for a $12,000 victory. The third-starting O'Neal took the checkers 2.095 seconds ahead of McCreadie with Ricky Thornton Jr. third in the nonstop event.

Quotable: "I just tried to bide my time and move around and try and find the loose dirt and run through that as best as I could," O'Neal said. "I thought this thing raced really good. We raced all over it, all the way from hanging the right rear over the top to hitting the uke tires with the left front. So a lot of fun whenever a racetrack's like that."

Key notes: Hudson O'Neal won two nights earlier in Iowa Speedweek action with a $20,000 FloRacing Night in America triumph at Mason City Motor Speedway. ... O'Neal (low), Brandon Sheppard (middle) and Tim McCreadie (high) were three-wide at the flagstand on the 13th lap before O'Neal completed his winning move, going under both then moving to the middle groove exiting turn four in eclipsing McCreadie, who led the first 13 laps. ... O'Neal, who lapped all but 13 competitors in winning his Maquoketa debut, notched his third WoO victory of the season and sixth of his career. ... The caution-free, 11-minute feature concluded at 11:20 p.m. ... In prelims, WoO points leader Bobby Pierce's car failed to fire for the third heat race necessitating a push to the pits; he qualified through the night's second consolation. ... Tyler Erb and Matthew Larson had a feisty, contact-exchanging battle while running midpack in the first heat. ... Ethan Dotson spun in the second heat after contact with Tristan Chamberlain on the opening lap. ... Late Models hit the track at 7:40 p.m. after a late afternoon rainstorm delayed on-track action. ... Saturday's Hawkeye 100 finale pays $25,000-to-win in wrapping up Iowa Speedweek.

On the move: Bobby Pierce of Oakwood, Ill., started 22nd and finished sixth.
