**Mike Fritz Holds Off Late Charge at Fairbury** Mike Fritz drove a measured race at Fairbury and held the line when it mattered most, denying Scott S Smith in a tense final stretch to take the feature. Smith led the opening stretch and showed speed all night, but Fritz stayed poised and made the decisive move when it counted — a masterclass in patience on the dirt. The story underneath: Brandon Garman came from P13 and charged six spots to finish seventh, doing real work through the field. Kyler Bruce earned the pole but couldn't convert it into a trophy despite winning his heat.
