WHEATLAND, MO. (April 17, 2021) - JC Morton led all but one of the 25 laps to capture the Ozark Golf Cars USRA B-Mod feature on a chilly Saturday night in the headliner of Lucas Oil Speedway's program.
 
Others winners on the $uper $aver $pecial Night Program Presented by Ozarks FOX were Cole Henson (Missouri Metal Buildings ULMA Late Models), David Hendrix (O'Reilly Auto Parts USRA Stock Cars), Tyler Davis (Cedar Creek Beef Jerky USRA Modifieds) and Chris Countryman in the guest Pure Stocks class.
 
A total of 174 cars checked into the pits, including a whopping 75 B-Mods, on the cool-but-dry evening for Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series program No. 2 of 2021.
 
Morton, of Springfield, earned the win in the featured division and took home $750 courtesy of Clearlight Inn. He beat Dillon McCowan by two car lengths for his first feature win of the season - and nearly had two trips to victory lane after an impressive second-place run in his debut driving a ULMA Late Model.
 
"It's the first time I've ever been in one. I think with a little more experience, I'd have won two tonight," Morton said of the near-sweep.
 
Morton set the pace through four laps of the B-Mod feature before he and McCowan swapped the top spot on laps five and six before the race's first caution came out.
 
Seventh-starting Andy Bryant moved into third by lap 10, when the third caution waved. Meanwhile, five-time track champion Kris Jackson, who started 19th after having to run a B-Feature, was up to seventh.
 
McCowan worked his way alongside Morton on the lap following the restart, but Morton was able to re-establish command. As the race remained green the final 15 laps, Morton went on to prevail by 1.02 seconds over the 17-year-old from Urbana.
 
"Dillon kept showing me his nose there low and I kept blowing him off, running the middle and the top," Morton said. "Finally he got to where he was there, there. That last yellow, it was time to move down there.
 
"I appreciate him running me clean and not driving through me. I've got to thank Scott Allen. This car, I can drive it on the bottom, in the middle or the top and it's good."
 
Andy Bryant finished third, followed by Jon Sheets and Jackson to round out the top five.
