What won the race: Inheriting the lead after polesitter Ross Bailes suffered a flat-tire, Donald McIntosh of Dawsonville, Ga., cruised to his second win of the weekend in Friday’s Schaeffer’s Spring Nationals event at Crossville Speedway. He pocketed $4,000 for his fifth career Spring Nationals victory.

Quotable: “I felt like we had a really good car. I hate the 58 (Tanner English) and the 87 (Ross Bailes) had tire trouble. I’d really liked to have been able to race them,” said McIntosh. “They were really good to start with. I think we made the right changes. Our car was really good. Under that last caution I kept rocking the car around. I felt like I had a flat. They said I was fine. I was like, well, we’re in the lead, we’ll gas on it and see. The worse we’ll do id go to the back under caution. Thankfully that tire was still there and we didn’t have the misfortune that they did.”
