Josh Putnam celebrates his victory at Duck River Raceway Park in Wheel, Tenn.
What won the race: Taking control from mid-race leader Dillon Tidmore on a lap-22 restart, 14th-starting Josh Putnam of Florence, Ala., led the rest of Sunday's 53-lap Schaeffer's Spring Nationals points finale at Duck River Raceway Park. Putnam's $10,053 payday marked his second career Spring Nationals victory and his first since May 29, 2022, both coming at Duck River.
Quotable: “I knew when we fired up that we had a good race car and I just didn’t know about our tire choice there,” Putnam said. “I seen Sam (Seawright) having problems cause I thought he would be that one to outrun there, cause he’s been stellar at this place. He kept having problems and I was like ‘Man, what’s going on?’ I’d like to pass those guys, too, cause I think we had the car to do it and I hate they fell out on their misfortune, but some of the luck we’ve had this year, we’ll take this one anyway we can get it.”
Key notes: The pole-starting Tidmore, of Gadsden, Ala., led laps 13-21 before being overtaken by Putnam and slipping to finish seventh. ... Twelfth-starting Dalton Cook pressured Putnam in the late going, crossing the checkers 0.640 of a second back. ... Donald McIntosh improved 13 positions and placed third, clinching his third career Spring Nationals title (2015, '16) — breaking a tie with two-time series champs Dale McDowell and Carson Ferguson. ... Pearson Lee Williams, McIntosh's closest championship contender, overcame two flat tires and finished sixth aboard Christian Hanger's backup car after breaking his Wynn Motorsports team's engine during Friday's tour event at Sugar Creek Raceway in Blue Ridge, Ga. ... Sam Seawright slowed from third to draw Duck River's fourth caution on lap 21 before pulling off. ... Second-starting Jadon Frame, who drove a Scott Riggs Racing entry, led the opening 12 laps before slowing while under yellow for Brad Skinner's heavy contact with the turn-two wall. ... Lucas Oil Series rookie contender Clay Harris slowed from second to cause the second stoppage on lap nine. ... Sunday's Spring Nationals points finale was slowed by eight incidents and lasted 41 minutes, with 11 drivers running at the finish. ... Ray Cook's rain-plagued tour added two non-points events in Kentucky on May 31-June 1 at Junction City's Ponderosa Speedway and Burnside's Lake Cumberland Speedway.
On the move: Pearson Lee Williams of Dublin, Ga., started 22nd and finished sixth.
