White City, Ill. (June 23, 1988) – Ken Essary took the lead with only five laps to go and went on to win the 40-lap PROS/UMP late model feature at Midstate Raceway on Thursday night.
Essary, of Bolivar, Mo., collected $3,000 for his victory against a stellar field.
Fast qualifier Billy Moyer Jr. dominated the feature race until he left with a broken tie rod after hitting an infield tire marker. Essary took over the lead and never relinquished it.
Jack Boggs finished a close second while last month’s PRO/UMP late model feature winner, Larry Phillips, wound up third.
The feature had 20 starters. Five each came from three heats and the semi-main.
