After trying for three weeks the first appearance by Late Models at the Salina Speedway in five years was completed with a new winner emerging.

Caney, Kansas driver Gary Gorby, picked up the win in the MidwestDirt Late Model Series 30 lap Main Event. Gorby, tied for second in the standings before the evening, started the main event from the last starting position on the grid. Jimmy Segraves took the lead early in the event after picking up the win in the G&G Dozer Dash to lock in the pole position. Segraves then gave way to Delbert Smith before spinning out and being sent to the back. Smith seemed to have the upper hand until Gorby began picking off positions using the top side of the track. The “G Man” made quick work of Smith and sailed home to his first career MDLMS win. Smith finished second, followed by Earl Kinderknecht, Dave Conkwright, and Kelly Dunn.

Gorby was also the GRT Motorsports Hard Charger of the Race.

Earl Kinderknecht and Dave Conkwright picked up the heat race wins a week earlier in the event that was postponed by rain.
