What won the race: Inheriting the lead when race-long pacesetter Jordan Koehler sustained a flat tire on lap 28, fourth-starting Donald McIntosh of Dawsonville, Ga., led the final 13 circuits to win Saturday's $7,500 Ultimate Southeast Series stop at the newly reopened and renamed Ultimate Motorsports Park. McIntosh earned his first victory aboard the Billy Hicks-owned Double Nickel Race Car and notched his sixth career Ultimate Southeast Series triumph - his first since March 13, 2020, at North Georgia Speedway.

Key notes: Second-starting Koehler, of Mount Airy, N.C., led the first 27 laps before his flat drew the race's second caution and knocked him out of contention; Koehler rallied to finish 13th after changing the tire. ... Ninth-starting Jimmy Owens moved into the runner-up spot on a lap-34 restart and trailed McIntosh the rest of the way, finishing 1.211 seconds back. ... After transferring through a consolation, two-time feature winner Ben Watkins finished third. ... Two-time Schaeffer's Spring Nationals champion Carson Ferguson ran as high as second before fading to finish fourth. ... Fresh off last Saturday's $4,000 Carolina Clash Series victory, pole-starting Gray Parton finished fifth. ... Willie Milliken finished sixth, clinching his first series championship and received $11,500, as he also earned rookie of the year honors. ... Second-running Benji Hicks drew the race's third and final caution when he slapped the wall on lap 33, ending his night. ... Entering as the series points leader, Anthony Sanders broke a driveshaft on lap 11 and pulled off. ... Delayed by rain, Saturday's feature lasted 24 minutes with 16 competitors completing 40 laps and 17 running at the finish. ... After appearing to qualify fourth in the group two, Kyle Strickler's time was disallowed when it was discovered that he used unapproved tires; Strickler started in the back of the second consolation and missed the transfer by one position. ... John Eller of Oxford, N.C., won Saturday's $800 non-qualifier's race.

On the move: Ben Watkins of Rock Hill, S.C. started 12th and finished third.
