View full Lancaster Speedway results below.

Drivers are set to battle for at least $5,000 to win. They’ll do it in front of empty grandstands as this event is closed to fans.

Big name dirt late model stars are set to take the green in a field of 20+ cars. The 1/2-mile dirt track marks one of the first race tracks to open since the COVID-19 outbreak began.

The top 10 cars from qualifying have locked straight to the front four rows of the feature. They’ll be absent from the heat races.

Feature Race Report

Ross Bailes and Brandon Overton set the front row. None of the top 10 starters have seen the track since qualifying, hours ago.

Crickets, it’s dead silence as the cars sit on the front stretch. No fans in the stands but we’re going dirt late model racing.

The field lines up in a four wide salute for the dirt racing fans watching online. 40 laps of racing are on deck…

Green flag, they run even into turn one. Overton drives it deep to the bottom and slides across the nose of Bailes, not quite clear but close. Bailes is on the gas and he runs into the rear bumper of Overton.

The caution is out for a spin behind them. Bailes pulls alongside Overton and swerves near him to show displeasure. It’s a complete restart.

Green, they run even into turn one. Brett Hamm gets into Logan Roberson and Roberson is around.

Green, Bailes noses ahead on the outside lane into turn one. One lap complete and Davenport takes over 3rd.

Lap 2, Overton drives it deep to the bottom in turn one. They run even. Overton is nearly clear off turn four but he leaves the lane open. Overton completes the pass into turn one.

Anthony Sanders is slow and the caution is out again.

Green, Overton leads. Derrick Ramey is around, caution.

I guess it’s been awhile since these drivers have been in a cockpit.

Green, Overton leads.

Lap 7

Lap 7, Overton is driving away from the field. Kyle Hardy has come to a stop. That lead evaporates as the caution is out.

Green, three tangle before the start/finish line. Yellow flag, caution number one million is out.

Green, driver in the fence in turn four. His foot slipped off the gas, he lost several spots and the caution is back out for some reason.

Green, Overton leads. Bailes hangs with him at the entry of turn one but Overton gaps hum by four off turn two.

Lap 14, Willie Millikan jumps the cushion. Benji Hicks is slow and the caution is out. Just 13 cars remain on the race track.

Green, Overton leads. Davenport is on the bumper of Bailes for 2nd as Overton opens the gap.

Lap 16

Lap 16, Wilson is slow and the caution is out in the Yellow Flag 40.

Green, Overton leads. Madden is under the fuel cell of Davenport off turn two. There’s a rut off turn two that drivers are struggling to navigate.

Halfway, Overton leads Bailes by 2 seconds.

12 to go, Bailes and Davenport are closing. They’re entering high in turn three for a late apex off turn four as they cut down the banking. Both of them are closing on the leader.

9 to go, Rambo Franklin is up in smoke and the caution is out.

Green, Overton leads by 5 car lengths at the flag stand, gone.

6 to go, Madden is slow. He heads to the pit area, no caution.

Brandon Overton wins at Lancaster Speedway!
