Jimmy Owens and Devin Moran swapped the lead several times in the final 14 laps in the 42nd Annual Jackson 100 on Saturday night at Indiana’s Brownstown Speedway. In the end, it was the veteran Owens edging out Moran by just .079 seconds at the finish for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series victory.

Moran, who was looking for his first-ever win at Brownstown, finished second. Tanner English came home in third, with Earl Pearson, Jr. fourth and Mike Marlar in fifth.

Owens jumped to the lead at the start of race as he and first-time Jackson 100 starter Spencer Hughes ran first and second for the first 40 laps. Pearson, who had been hounding Hughes for several laps, moved into the runner-up spot on lap 41. Pearson then held the second position until lap 58 when Moran moved ahead.

The first 86 laps of the race went caution-free until Ricky Thornton, Jr. brought out the only yellow flag after climbing to sixth in the running order with 14 laps to go.

The final 14 circuits between Owens and Moran saw the duo go back-and-forth in the battle for the lead. Moran was able to forge ahead on lap 88, but the two remained side-by-side before Owens regained the top spot-on lap 93. Moran was not done yet, staying right with the defending series champion to the very end but falling just short of victory.

It marked the 77th career series win for the 49-year-old Newport, Tennessee native, and was worth a $20,000 payday.

“That was a blast,” Owens said. “I didn’t know which way he (Moran) was going to be coming on me whether it was going to be high or low. Because he really, really had a good car. We had a good hot rod too you know. It’s great being in victory lane here at Brownstown.

“Tonight, was the best track we have had by far here in a while. They did their best with the weather; you can’t do anything about the rain. It was fun racing with Devin, he was respectful and gave me plenty of room and it put on a heck of a show for the fans.”

Hudson O’Neal, Dennis Erb, Jr., Josh Richards, Spencer Hughes, and Stormy Scott rounded out the top 10.
