What won the race: Driving underneath Brandon Overton in turns one and two on lap seven, outside front row starter Ashton Winger of Hampton, Ga., led the rest of Saturday’s Billy Clanton Classic at Senoia Raceway for his fifth career World of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Model Series victory. Winger claimed $15,000 ahead of runner-up Tim McCreadie.
Quotable: “When I got the lead the way I did, I was like, ‘Man, I’m gonna have to cowboy up for the rest of this thing,’” Winger said. “(The cushion) was real thin down there, and I don’t know … I mean, I drove in the fence a couple of times.”
Key notes: Winger's win marked a repeat with the World of Outlaws Real American Beer Late Model Series at the Georgia oval after capturing the tour's last event on Oct. 2, 2021. ... A caution flag on lap 46 put Tim McCreadie on Winger's rear bumper for a final sprint to the finish, but McCreadie fell 0.733 of a second short at the checkered flag. ... Trey Mills of St. Augustine, Fla., retired during the lap-46 caution with left-front suspension damage after getting pinched into the backstretch wall while running fourth. ... Pole-starting Brandon Overton of Evans, Ga., paced the race's opening six circuits before fading to seventh at the finish. ... 21-year-old Payton Stevenson of High Falls, Ga., made his Super Late Model debut and was second in his time-trial group, but ended up sixth in his heat race and didn't transfer out of his B-Main.
On the move: Ethan Dotson of Bakersfield, Calif., started 11th and finished third.
