Saturday at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo., the Big Adventure Weekly Racing Series presented by NMI/VMG Marketing and Wild Animal Safari, visitors to victory lane included Joe Duvall in the Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds.
Duvall of Claremore, Okla., started up front and led all 20 laps to capture the Pitts Homes USRA Modified feature win. He finished about a full straighaway in front of runner-up Kyle Thompson in the caution-free event.
Duvall got the jump on fellow front-row starter Mickey Burrell at the drop of the green and was never seriously threatened in taking his first feature win of the season.
"It's always a big confidence booster to win here," Duvall said. "It's a great field of cars every time you come out here. It's pretty cool. God is good. I'd like to say thank you to everybody who helps on the 91 car and thanks to everybody who supports this race track."
Fifth-starting Thompson held off points leader Robbie Reed, who started seventh and finished third. Chase Domer went from 11th to fourth and Ryan Middaugh came home in fifth just in front of Burrell.
