What won the race: Narrowly holding off Doug Horton on a late-race restart, Ashton Winger of Hampton, Ga., led all 50 laps from the pole to top the Crate Racin’ USA field at East Bay Raceway Park. Winger earned $5,000 in Saturday’s 47th annual East Bay Winter Nationals weekend finale for the Crate engine powered machines.

Quotable: “The street stock race there actually cleaned the race track up a ton and I really thought it was gonna kinda lock-down there and rubber, so at the last minute I went kinda harder on tire than I think pretty much everybody,” said Winger. “We gotta go back and swap the Crate car with the Super car and go up to Ocala to race with Lucas tomorrow, so it’s good to go in there with a little bit of momentum and it didn’t look like such a bad idea to come over here after all this weekend.”

Key notes: Winger’s victory is his second in as many days, as he leaves East Bay Raceway Park with over $7,500 in race winnings. … Horton, originally of Bruceton Mills, W.Va. before moving to Ruskin, Fla., gave Winger all he could handle on the lap-44 restart, finishing 0.364 of a second back. … Hayden Cardwell ran as high as second in the early laps and finished third. … Winner of Thursday’s $2,500 opener Cory Hedgecock advanced three positions and finished fourth. … Clinton Hersh gained six spots and finished fifth. … After winning a $1,500 preliminary race at Volusia last weekend, Randy Weaver advanced 13 spots and finished eighth. … Austin Yarbrough ran as high as fourth before suffering heavy nose damage on a botched restart attempt and faded to finish 12th. … Saturday’s 47th annual East Bay Winter Nationals finale was slowed by nine cautions and lasted 37 minutes, with 15 drivers completing all 50 laps. … The Crate Racin’ USA Winter Shootout Series concludes with Feb. 18’s Sweetheart event at 411 Motor Speedway.

On the move: Trevor Collins of Seaford, Del., started 25th and finished seventh.
