Hudson O'Neal celebrates a sweep of the Spring Nationals weekend.
What won the race: Leading the final 17 laps after he tracked down and passed race-long pacesetter Brandon Overton, Hudson O'Neal of Martinsville, Ind., completed a sweep of the 12th annual Spring Nationals weekend Saturday at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo. The 24-year-old cashed in $20,000 for the unsanctioned win, which came by 3.561 seconds over Overton.
Quotable: “I was nervous at the beginning, the top took off really good and I shuffled straight back to fourth, or at one time I was running fifth,” O’Neal said. “I just kept trying to drive so straight around the top and conserve. I knew (the line) had to move around eventually. I was just lucky earlier, I got to going through some lapped cars there and one of them lapped cars got a really good run off the bottom and I was like ‘man, if the lapped cars are getting a run off the bottom, I think I can’ … I was just able to kinda ride around there and pick them off.”
Key notes: O’Neal pocketed $27,000 in winnings from the Spring Nationals weekend, including Friday’s $7,000 victory. … It was O'Neal's first back-to-back triumphs since July 14-15 last year when he won Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series events at Eagle (Neb.) Raceway and Shelby County Raceway in Harlan, Iowa. ... Longhorn Factory Team driver Brandon Overton led the opening 41 laps from the front row but couldn’t close the deal down the stretch, which ended on a 34-lap green-flag run. … Jonathan Davenport started from the pole but never led a lap. He ran third for laps 28-56 until he lost the final podium spot to Mike Marlar with three laps remaining. … Mike Marlar said Infinity Race Cars owner and driver Eric Wells let him race his car at Wheatland as Wells prepares a comeback after a lengthy hiatus away from racing. … Three cautions slowed the 60-lap feature: Jace Parmley slowed out of 23rd on the second lap; Billy Moyer slowed on lap 22 while 14th; and Eli Ross slowed on lap 26 while 18th. … Sixteen drivers were running at the finish with 11 drivers finishing on the lead lap.
On the move: Carson Ferguson of Lincolnton, N.C., started 17th and finished sixth.
