FARMER CITY, Ill. — When the World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Models come to Illinois, they face a hungry contingent of regional drivers, looking to take home a victory. He had Ryan Unzicker and Bobby Pierce breathing down his neck in the final stages of the race. Spatola said he knew he had to stay conservative in the last five laps. “I know I backed up to [Unzicker and Pierce] and made it really interesting, but it was what I needed to do to protect and get the win,” Spatola said. While Spatola was protecting the top, it was Ryan Unzicker inching closer on the bottom with each lap, just narrowly missing out on a win. “I thought [Unzicker] was going to sneak in there and win it, because [Spatola] seemed to be slowing down just a little bit,” Pierce said.
