On Saturday night, Sycamore Speedway had a yearly high car count in the Super Late Model class. After the rain on Friday night the track was unusually wet and tacky. The drivers of all divisions continued to put on a show throughout the evening. The Twin 25's were a constant battle for all drivers during part one and part two. The race came down to Jeff Kerley (13), Charlie Olson (28), and Jim Klingel (O2). Kerley finished with a lead from the rest of the pack. Olson and Klingel continued to battle it out for that 2nd place spot. With Olson finishing in 2nd and Klingel in 3rd. Current Points leader Jay Brendle (15) finished in the fourth spot. The Late Model drivers put on another caution free 25 lap feature. Current points leader and 2014 Champion Jordan Jackowiak (10) took home the win. If this past weekend's Late Model racing was any clue to what this upcoming weekend Twin 25's will be, we are all in for a great night of racing!

Almost 30 Compacts showed up for two heat races and an action packed feature. The Spectators also put on a great show.
