What won the race: Leading all 50 laps, polesitter Casey Roberts of Toccoa, Ga., earned $5,000 Sunday evening at Cochran Motor Speedway for a $5,000 Southern All Star victory. Roberts took the checkers ahead of three-time and reigning series champion Riley Hickman of Ooltewah, Tenn., for his first series victory since 2010.

Quotable: "I learned last night not to get up out of that bottom too much," Roberts said. "So I tried to learn from my mistake last night."
