What won the race: Overtaking polesitter and fellow front-row starter Christian Hanger on the 12th lap, Dillon Tidmore of Gadsden, Ala., led the rest of Saturday's 50-lap Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series feature at North Alabama Speedway. Tidmore took the checkers 0.419 of a second ahead of 12th-starting Brayden Skinner for a $5,000 payday.

Quotable: "I knew we was good from the jump. We just had to be patient and finally got the lead there," Tidmore said, adding that the victory "means a ton. We couldn't keep going up and down the road unless we got a couple of these a year."
