Lake Cumberland Speedway returned to action on Saturday evening after three straight rainouts with a benefit night for the American Cancer Society and Skylar Marlar of Winfield, TN would pick up the $2,500 payday in the Super Late Model division main event.  Other feature winners for the evening included Jimmy Payne of Glasgow, KY in Modifieds, Tim McMullin of Bronston, KY in Super Dirt Stocks/Road Hogs, and Charles Burton of Somerset, KY in Front Wheel Drives.
