**Ryan Wagonschutz Holds Off Furious Late Charge at Lucas Oil Speedway** Ryan Wagonschutz had to survive one of the most intense final laps of the season as Bruce Clingan mounted an absolutely relentless assault from ninth on the grid. Clingan picked off seven cars to reach second, turning up the heat on Wagonschutz in the final circuits, but Wagonschutz had just enough in the tank to seal the victory and secure his night at Lucas Oil Speedway. The race was dictated early by Easton Zent, who dominated the first half with 26 laps led before fading, opening the door for Wagonschutz to take command. But the real story wasn't the front—it was Clingan's tear through the field. From ninth, he had every car behind him scrambling just to stay ahead of his momentum. His charge set up a climactic finish where Wagonschutz had to be perfect through the closing corners to keep Clingan's hot hand at bay. Nathan L Dillon and Chase Lauderbaugh each won their heat races, but neither could sustain that form through the feature. Wagonschutz's composure under maximum pressure when it mattered most is what defined Round 7 at the Speedway.
