**Rylan Gray Dominates I-55, Survives Late Pressure from Dudek** Rylan Gray controlled this one from start to finish at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55, leading 27 laps and weathering a desperate final-lap charge from Connor Dudek to claim Round 2. Dudek threw everything at him down the stretch, but Gray kept his line and kept his nerve when it mattered most. The real story was Jeromy Weigle's recovery mission. Starting 19th, he threaded the needle through traffic and picked his way up ten positions to finish ninth — the kind of drive that reminds you that track position is only part of the equation on a night like this. Meanwhile, pole sitter Kolby Araki couldn't convert his qualifying speed into feature results, finishing fourth. Gray's heat win set the tone early. By the time the feature rolled around, he had the car to beat, and he proved it. This is what consistency looks like at I-55.
