What won the race: Sliding by early leader Russell Erwin after a lap-eight restart and repelling a surging Zack Dohm late, polesitter Tyler Carpenter of Parkersburg, W.Va., led the final 42 laps to win Saturday's $10,000 second annual Mountaineer 50 at Beckley Motor Speedway. Carpenter beat Dohm by seven-tenths of a second for his 15th victory and first special event since last fall's Steel Block World Championship at Eldora.

Quotable: “Anytime you can come here and beat (Zack) Dohm in his backyard is pretty bad ass. I ain’t been here since y’all took the track over and resurfaced it and I tell ya, this place is bad to the bone,” Carpenter said. “You catch them (lapped cars) and in my mind I wanted to stay down low, then I seen (my stick guy) telling me ‘you need to go to the top’ then I seen Dohm’s nose out there, so I was like ‘yeah I better move around a little bit and make ‘er wide.’ ”

Key notes: Carpenter captured his second major event at Beckley and first since Aug. 7, 2021, a $7,500 unsanctioned Super Late Model triumph. ... Carpenters are now 2-for-2 in Beckley's Mountaineer 50 after Tyler's father, Freddie Carpenter, won last year's $10,000 top prize. Freddie ran as high as third in the early going before slipping outside the top five then retiring near the race's halfway mark; he was credited with 18th. ... Russell Erwin led the opening eight laps from the pole before giving way to Tyler Carpenter after a restart, then traded sliders with Carpenter on lap 14 before settling for third. ... Fifth-starting Zack Dohm squeezed by Erwin for the runner-up spot near halfway and trailed Carpenter the rest of the way. ... Jensen Ford finished fourth aboard a No. 18 Scott Bloomquist tribute entry. ... The race was slowed by five cautions, the first for debris on lap eight. ... William Rose spun on a lap-eight restart just before another restart was called back for a bad start. ... Jackie Burdette spun in turn three on lap 15 for the fourth yellow flag before Joe Cox looped it in turn four about 10 laps later. ... James Dennis scratched.

On the move: Shane Greco of Midway, W.Va., started 22nd and finished 10th.
