What won the race: Winning for the first time at Cherokee Speedway, Joseph Joiner of Milton, Fla., repelled a mid-race challenge from Trent Ivey to lead all 40 laps en route to winning Sunday's $10,000 Mike Duvall Memorial. Joiner beat Ivey to the checkers by 1.166 seconds for his third feature victory of the season and his first away from his hometown Southern Raceway.

Quotable: “(I) just tried to keep this thing as straight as we could, I seen they was having some flats. I seen (Zack) Mitchell come by with his flat and I figured if anybody could get around here making 40 laps without burning the tire off, it would be him,” Joiner said. “At that point I kinda got worried, cause I knew we run 40 all the way in the rubber there, ya know. … hey we made it to the end there. Looking at (the tire), looks like we got some left, so we’ll take it."

Key notes: Joiner's two previous wins this season came at Milton, Fla.'s Southern Raceway on April 19, worth $10,000 on the Southern Thunder Super Dirt Series and March 21's $3,000 SAS-sanctioned Bash at the Beach prelim. ...
