- After Kyle Larson stomped the field in the Coca-Cola 600, you'd think that he would spend Memorial Day relaxing. Not so fast. Larson traveled to Lawrenceburg Speedway, where he passed Aaron Reutzel on lap 11 and held on to win the Memorial Day Spectacular. Logan Schuchart was second, then Sheldon Haudenschile, Buddy Kofoid and Kerry Madsen

- Waterloo, N.Y.'s Matt Sheppard took the lead from Stewart Friesen with 32 laps to go Monday night and held on as others around him broke to win the Super DIRTcar Series' springtime running of Mr. DIRT Track U.S.A. Mat Williamson was second, followed by Marc Johnson, Chris Hile and Brett Haas.
