What won the race: Kenny Collins of Colbert, Ga., executed a risky slide job Satiurday in turn four on the 28th lap, making slight contact with J.R. Moseley and going on to lead the final 13 laps at East Alabama Motor Speedway.

Quotable: "I've been trying to win a race here since like 2005, think I've finished second here like four times, just everything fell in place," Collins said. "I kinda spun the tires taking off and I lost a couple spots, but I knew the car was good, I was trying to bide my time there and I got into J.R. a little bit when I slid him, sorry about that, I thought I had him cleared."
