The Rock County Fair was good to area drivers competing in the Enduro Race Saturday night.
Along with producing the event champion, drivers from the Star Herald coverage area captured seven of the top 10 finishing positions during the grandstand attraction.
In the end, Luverne's Nick Mann emerged as the race champion by completing 200 laps before the event's two-hour time limit was reached.
A total of 45 cars started the race and performed in front of a grandstand crowd of 645 people.
In this particular Enduro Race, the winner is the first driver to complete 200 laps, or the driver to complete the most laps in two hours of racing. In Mann’s case, he won the fair title by completing 200 laps.
Local drivers also secured the fourth through ninth positions at race's end.
Luverne entries Travis Van Santen, Joel Elbers and Jarod Rowden placed fourth, sixth and ninth respectively.
Edgerton's Owen Tinklenberg was fifth, Magnolia’s Jason DeBeer placed seventh, and Adrian's Chris Kruger placed eighth.
Rock Rapids, Iowa, driver Gary Dieren and Tea, S.D., entry Scott Voigt placed second and third respectively.
Canton, S.D., driver Jim Larson placed 10th.
