The fifth of five leaders, Smith earned $4,400 in the ninth annual Buddy Rogers Memorial after inheriting the lead on lap 38 upon David Payne's retirement.

Quotable: "We knew the track was rough; we knew we had to hold on. A lot of people was breaking," Smith said. "I stayed at the bottom. It was rough to drive, but I kind of saved my car."

Polesitter Jonathan Rowan broke a driveshaft on the seventh lap. ... Greg Johnson scratched from the feature. ... The race was co-sanctioned by the Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals Bonus Series and the Schaeffer’s Oil Iron-Man Series.
