Fourth consolation

Polesitter Terry English took the lead when Eric Wells dropped on the third lap and led the rest of the way. Tommy Kerr finished second with Davey Johnson third. Wells, who started outside the front row, led the first three laps but slowed in turn four on the third lap. Behind Wells on the same lap, Joe Loudin's spin triggered a mess in turn four that included Tommy Kerr, Dan Stone and others. Stone restarted second on the third lap but stopped and pulled out of the race. Travis Varnadore was running fifth when he spun in turn three on the 10th lap.

Finish: Terry English, Tommy Kerr, Davey Johnson, Mark Pettyjohn, Brandon Thirlby, Brad Eitniear, Travis Varnadore, Chuck Hummer, Dan Stone, Jeremy Faircloth, Joe Loudin, Eric Wells.

Third consolation

Taking advantage of a tight high-side battle between polesitter John Blankenship and David Breazeale, Chad Mahder swept into the lead between turns three and four on the third lap and fought off Blankenship until his No. 23 skittered high in turn three on the eighth lap. He pulled off the track. Breazeale ran second the final four laps but couldn't overtake Mahder.

Finish: Chad Mahder, David Breazeale, Justin Rattliff, Tyler Bruening, Danny Mitchell, Jason McBride, Chris Shannon, Mark Andersen, John Blankenship, Clint Smith, A.J. Kirkpatrick.

Second consolation

Polesitter Bart Hartman raced to victory to earn a feature transfer spot. Fourth-starting Mike Collins was second with Jayme Zidar rallying for third. The race was slowed by two cautions. Outside front-row starter John Mason got into the turn-four wall on the second lap after getting into Darren Miller, who survived the scrape but the restart revealed a broken left-front tie rod. Donnie Moran was running second on theearly restart when he slowed with problems and pulled off the track.

Finish: Bart Hartman, Mike Collins, Jayme Zidar, Tim Dohm, Dale McDowell, Michael Walker, Butch Strait, Brad Neat, Tim Fuller, Donnie Moran, Darren Miller, Ricky Arms, John Mason.

First consolation

Fourth-starting Matt Miller squeezed under race-long leader Scott James on the seventh lap and went on to a 12-lap victory. Miller rubbed past James entering turn three and stayed just ahead as James did his best to answer. Miller, third in Winternationals points, earned the only transfer spot. Two cautions for stalled cars slowed the action.

Finish (finishing cars): Matt Miller, Scott James, Eddie Carrier Jr., Tyler Reddick, Victor Lee, Jeff Beyers, Jimmy Owens, Tim Lance, Jeep Van Wormer, Scott Slay, Rusty Schlenk, Bob Geiger.

Sixth heat

Polesitter Billy Moyer dominated for his seventh preliminary victory at Georgia-Florida Speedweeks. Eric Jacobsen, who started outside the front row, spent his race trying to fend off fourth-starting Dennis Erb Jr. Jacobsen got second and Erb third after they battled tightly exiting turn two on the final lap while Tyler Bruening was a half-straight back in fourth. One caution slowed the race. Freddy Smith and Clint Smith got together on the backstretch on the second lap to draw a yellow.

Finish: Billy Moyer, Eric Jacobsen, Dennis Erb Jr., Tyler Bruening, Joe Loudin, Jason McBride, Jeremy Faircloth, Jordan Bland, Travis Varnadore, Danny Mitchell, Clint Smith, Freddy Smith.

Fifth heat

Polesitter Brady Smith started on the pole and cruised to an easy 10-lap victory, his first heat win of Georgia-Florida Speedweeks. Third-starting Steve Shaver was second while sixth-starting Earl Pearson Jr. was third after taking the spot from front-row starter Terry English on an early restart. English fell nearly a straightaway behind Pearson and out of contention. A lap-two caution appeared for Wayne Chinn. Ray Cook, who started fourth, got into the turn-one wall on the first lap and dropped out a few laps later.

Finish: Brady Smith, Steve Shaver, Earl Pearson Jr., Terry English, David Breazeale, Dan Stone, Chris Shannon, Davey Johnson, A.J Kirkpatrick, Wayne Chinn, Ray Cook.

Fourth heat

Outside front-row starter Tyler Ivey fought off Don O'Neal throughout the race to earn a front-row starting position for the feature. O'Neal, whose car showed a few puffs of smoke, finished second while Steve Francis won a back-and-forth battle with John Blankenship. Eric Wells was further back in fifth. On the first lap, Mark Pettyjohn spun to force a complete restart.

Finish: Tyler Ivey, Don O'Neal, Steve Francis, John Blankenship, Eric Wells, Chad Mahder, Tommy Kerr, Tommy Weder Jr., Brandon Thirlby, Justin Rattliff, Mark Pettyjohn, Mark Andersen, Chuck Hummer

Third heat

Fourth-starting Scott Bloomquist took the lead on the fourth lap when outside front-row starter Dan Schlieper got too high exiting turn four. Bloomquist led the rest of the way with Schlieper getting second. Chris Wall, who lost the third spot to Scott James but got it back because of a caution, got the final transfer position. Three cautions slowed the feature. Russ Adams slowed on the fifth lap to draw the race's first yellow. Scott Slay spun exiting turn four on the sixth lap. And Shon Flanary pulled up lame on lap eight.

Finish: Scott Bloomquist, Dan Schlieper, Chris Wall, Scott James, Darren Miller, Tyler Reddick, Ricky Arms, Scott SLay, Michael Walker, Jeremy Faircloth, Shon Flanary, Russ Adams.

Second heat

Rick Eckert led all the way from outside the front row while polesitter Josh McGuire finished less than a half-straightaway back in second. The third spot was up for grabs most of the race. Sixth-starting Tim Isenberg held the spot through the early stages, fighting off Bart Hartman and Jimmy Owens while Dale McDowell chased those three. Isenberg edged away late in the race to secure the third and final transfer spot. McDowell ended up dropping. On the first lap, fourth-starting Tim Dohm got too high entering turn one and backed into the fence on the first lap. He wasn't hurt but pulled his damaged car to the pits.

Finish: Rick Eckert, Josh McGuire, Tim Isenberg, Bart Hartman, Jimmy Owens, Mike Collins, Jeff Beyers, Jayme Zidar, Rusty Schlenk, Dale McDowell, Steve Casebolt, Tim Dohm.

First heat

Terry Casey started outside the front row and led all the way, outrunning red-hot Josh Richards, who started third and ran second virtually the entire race. But there could be bad news for Richards: a big puff of smoke appeared on the cool-down lap, possibly rear end problems. Fourth-starting Mike Marlar held off Eddie Carrier Jr. to get the third and final transfer spot while polesitter John Mason was fifth. Richards closed on Casey in the final laps but never made a serious bid for the lead. Matt Miller, in contention for the week-long points title, struggled to a sixth-place finish. If Richards were to have to go to a backup car, he'd have to start on the tail of the feature.

Finish: Terry Casey, Josh Richards, Mike Marlar, Eddie Carrier Jr., John Mason, Matt Miller, Donnie Moran, Jeep Van Wormer, Tim Fuller, Tim Lance, Brad Neat.

Qualifying

Tyler Ivey of Tallahassee, Fla., topped 74 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series qualifiers at Saturday's finale of the 33rd annual Dart Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park. The home-state driver tripped the clock at 14.703 seconds on the third-mile oval, which hosts a 75-lapper paying $12,000 to the winner. "We've been working hard all week and finally got the car where we need to be," said the 20-year-old Ivey, who fields a Barry Wright Race Car. Ivey spun a "2" on the PRC inversion wheel, meaning he'll start outside the front row of the fourth heat race as the top qualifying in Group B. The top qualifier in Group A, Terry Casey of New London, Wis., will start outside the front row in the first heat.
