Montana Dudley led all but one lap of Friday's Cochran feature.
What won the race: Scoring an upset victory over red-hot Chris Madden, third-starting Montana Dudley of Phenix City, Ala., earned $4,000 Friday at Cochran Motor Speedway for his first-ever Ultimate Super Late Model Series victory. Dudley, a Limited and Crate Late Model standout, notched his first touring victory in Super Late Model action while driving a car equipped with a CT 525 powerplant.
Key notes: Runner-up Chris Madden, who led only the first lap, was coming off a $25,000 victory the previous weekend at Kentucky's Ponderosa Speedway. ... Outside front-row starter Hunter Peacock spun in turn two on the initial start with Cody King's car ending up partly on top of Peacock's machine, ending his night. ... Eleven of 24 starters completed 40 laps. ... The doubleheader weekend includes $4,000-to-win programs on Friday and Saturday in Ultimate's first visit to Cochran. ... The series ran its first event in Georgia since Chris Ferguson's $10,000 victory July 5 at Golden Isles Speedway near Brunswick.
On the move: Dennis "Rambo" Franklin started 11th and finished sixth.
Winner's sponsors: Dudley's Rocket Chassis is sponsored by Dale's Quick Lube & Auto Service, Thomason Extended Stay Properties, WrapTech and Wimmers Wrecker Service.
