Alex Bowman passed Chris Buescher with two laps remaining in the Kansas Lottery 98.9 and drove away to his second victory in as many ARCA Racing Series' starts.

After starting a distant 32nd on the grid, Maryeve Dufault was able to gather some speed and avoid troubles to finish the event in 18th on the small 1.5-mile oval.

Series' leader Ty Dillon finished seventh after a late incident with a lapped car, but kept a 335-point lead over Chris Buescher and will clinch the ARCA Racing Series title next week by entering and starting at Toledo Speedway.

Bowman also won at Madison International Speedway in August, his first career start.
Buescher's second-place finish was his seventh top-five run in seven starts on paved ovals of over one mile in distance, giving him the Hoosier Tire Superspeedway Challenge Award over Dillon by 25 points.

Grant Enfinger finished third in front of pole sitter Max Gresham while Cale Gale completed the top 5.

Next weekend's Toledo ARCA 200 presented by Federated Car Care at Toledo Speedway will close the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards season, completing a schedule of 19 races over speedways, short tracks, dirt tracks, and a road course.
