The victory, which came at Sycamore Speedway, was worth $7,000 and marked his third overall of the season.

“There’s something about that place (Sycamore Speedway) that just fits my driving style. We won a race here last year, and we got another one on Friday night,” Alberson said. “I can’t say enough about this great Roberts Motorsports team, and all of our supporters, who make it possible.”

Friday night found Garrett Alberson in action at Sycamore Speedway (Maple Park, Ill.), where he was kicking off the opening round of a scheduled doubleheader weekend with the Lucas Oil Midwest LateModel Racing Association (MLRA).

Drawing 30 cars for the Harvest Hustle opener, Garrett qualified fastest in his group before picking up an eight-lap heat race victory. Starting the feature in the second position, Alberson followed closely behind Mike Spatola until he made his move for the lead in the second half of the race. Sliding ahead of Spatola with 15 circuits remaining, Garrett charged to his second-career Lucas Oil MLRA triumph and third win of his 2021 campaign. He finished ahead of Spatola, Mike Mataragas, Taylor Scheffler, and Mike Provenzano to claim $7,000.

Saturday’s doubleheader finale was nixed by steady rain and an unfavorable forecast.

Garrett sits in second in the latest Lucas Oil MLRA point standings.
