Daren Friedman of Forrest took the lead with 7 laps to go from Ryan Dauber of Tonica and went on to win his feature at Fairbury this season and his second of the year.  His other feature win came three weeks ago at Farmer City.  The Forrest native said his crew and himself replaced the motor and the front end earlier in the day and it paid off.   Scott Bull of Fairbury edged Dauber for second while Joe Harlan, Friday night's feature winner at Farmer City finished fourth and Eric Smith of Shirley rounded out the top 5.
