LEBANON, Mo. (October 4) - Springfield's Terry Phillips has been a man on mission in the last month of Late Model Racing and Sat night at the Lebanon Midway Speedway the Phillips Express kept rolling as Phillips lead all 35 laps of the DLRA Sanction Late Model feature along with capturing the first ever AllState Insurance DLRA Late Model championship.

The Start of the Late model feature was a little rough but once things got going the racing was tight with action all over the track. On the start Phillips shot to the lead from his pole position with Jeremy Payne right on his heels with outside front row starter Brandon McCormick taking to the top groove. After completing 1 lap, McCormick used a slingshot move out of turn 2 and went flying around Payne and was setting his sights on Phillips, but turn 4 proved a little tough as McCormick spun bringing out the yellow.
On the double-file restart, Phillips again shot to the lead with Jeremy Kelley moving around Payne to grab second with Payne taking it back on the next lap. On lap 3, the yellow waved for Steve Johnson along with a 4 car group. On the restart, Phillips again shot ahead with Payne, Kelley and point contender Jesse Stovall following. With Phillips setting a quick pace, the action behind the leader provided plenty of 2 and 3 wide racing as Justin Wells, Steve Rushin, Jordan Holloway and Chris Smyser were all battling for positions. By lap 15, the leader Phillips was getting into lapped traffic as Payne was closing the gap quickly. On lap 19, Payne pulled to the outside groove and was looking to overtake the leader while Stovall had moved around Kelley and was making up ground quickly. On lap 24, the 3rd caution waved for Tony Jackson Jr as he spun in turn 4 bunching the field up and giving LeRoy Johnson the lucky dog award putting him back on the lead lap. The running order on the restart found Phillips, Payne, Stovall, Wells, Kelley, Rushin, Smyser, McCormick, Dustin Mooneyham, Jackson and Johnson still on the lead lap. On this final restart, Phillips again shot to the lead with Payne and Stovall dicing for the runner-up spot while Wells, McCormick, Rushin and Kelley were battling for positions. In the closing laps, Phillips had pulled away to secure the win followed by Payne, Stovall, Wells, McCormick, Rushin, Kelley, Smyser, Dustin Mooneyham and Jackson Jr completing the top 10 as 12 of the 20 starters were on the lead lap and 18 running at the end of the race.
