PERU, IN.- Kokomo, IN. racer Nate Lauderbaugh (Pictured Left) won the Non-Wing A-Main at Miami County Speedway on Saturday night. Lauderbaugh also landed the big $1000 winner's purse that went along with becoming the newest Non-Wing Bonanza winners. After the big victory, Lauderbaugh said, "It felt good to win the $1000 dollars tonight. The car was good. I put her on the cushion. That's where we like it. I would like to thank Hoosier Tire, Shively Racing Engines, my Dad (Pedg), and my wife Ashley for their continued support." Logan Jarrett came away with a hard fought second place finish. Third went to Jordan Lambert. Fourth belonged to Kris Knox, while Brandon Rose raced his way to finish fifth in Saturday night's Non Wing Bonanza.

Racing along with the big $1000 Non-Wing feature was the Junior Class, Restrictor Class, and the Senior Class. Every class that raced on Saturday night raced without a wing. That was kinda cool seeing the wings taken off every micro sprint Saturday.

Taking the big victory in the Junior Class was Indianapolis, IN. native Garrett Johnson (Pictured Right). "It felt awesome to win tonight. This is my first time here at Miami County Speedway. It was also my first win at Miami County Speedway," Johnson said. Connor Corcoran took the checkers in second place. Third went to Tate Price, while Stanley Abbott finished fourth. Seth Ireland raced his way to fifth in the Jr. A-Main.

Peru, IN. racer Braiden Black (Pictured Left) raced his way to another impressive feature win in the Restrictor Class on Saturday night. After the win, Black said, "The win felt good." Second went to Zach Shepler , while Jacob Melvin raced his way to finish third. Barbie Kimmel came home fourth, while Craig Swartz rounded out the top five Restrictor Class feature finishers.

The final feature of the night was the Senior Class feature. Royal Center, IN. native Mike Morock (Pictured Right) won the Senior Class feature. After the hard fought victory, Morock said, "It felt great to win tonight. It's been awhile since my last win (September)." Rob Johnson finished right behind Morock in second. Third went to Cory Angle, while Tom Corcoran held on to finish fourth. Rounding out the top five Senior Class finishers was Jim Ray.

The Miami County Speedway returns to action with their always exciting regular program of Juniors, Restrictors, Wing, Non Wing, and Senior classes, this Saturday, August 7th.
