Casey Noonan won the 40-lap 19th Annual Barney Oldfield UMP Late Model Feature at Oakshade Raceway on Saturday night.

Kevin Reeve started on the outside of the front row after winning his heat event earlier in the night and snatched the early lead from pole sitter Mike Bores.

Defending Barney Oldfield Race Champion Ronnie Perrine Jr. from Lima, Ohio, pressured Reeve for the lead during the first quarter of the race.

The first yellow flag flew on lap 11 after Ky Harper’s car rolled to a stop in turn two. Mike Bores, Mike Miller and last week’s feature winner Bill Hahn piled up on the ensuing restart to bring out another caution.

Casey Noonan started ninth and worked his way up to take the lead from Reeve at the midway point of the race and then pulled away from the rest of the field.

Rusty Schlenk worked his way up to second and began to reel in the race leader, but didn’t have enough laps to close the distance on Noonan.

Noonan went on to a convincing win picking up the check for $4400 for winning the 19th Annual Barney Oldfield Race.
