What won the race: Sixth-starting Rusty Schlenk of McClure, Ohio, charged to a $2,000 victory in Friday night's 30-lap Sunoco American Late Model Series feature at I-96 Speedway. The Michigan native beat Chad White and I-96 points leader Chad Finley to the finish line.

Key notes: Schlenk won for the third time in the five completed events on this year's rain-plagued ALMS tour. He swept the two ALMS races at I-96, backing up his victory in the series's April 26 season opener. ... Schlenk, who tied Matt Miller for third on the all-time ALMS win list with his 30th career triumph, rebounded from a rough outing in the previous night's World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series event the previous night. He experienced electrical problems in his qualifying and dropped out of the feature after a broken fan belt caused his engine to overheat. ... The race kicked off a holiday weekend doubleheader that concludes on Saturday at Oakshade Raceway in Wauseon, Ohio.

Winner's sponsors: Schlenk’s C.J. Rayburn Race Car is powered by an ECR Engine and sponsored by Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Tom Finch Automotive, Dominator Race Products, Velocita USA, Landrum Performance Springs, VP Racing Fuel, Vahlco Racing Wheels, Wilwood and CP-Carrillo.
