Casey Roberts heads for a $7,500 victory at Cochran, Ga.
What won the race: Second-starting Casey Roberts of Toccoa, Ga., overtook polesitter Travis Pennington of Winston, Ga., on lap 31 of the 60-lap Southern All Star Series feature, earning $7,500 at Cochran Motor Speedway.
Quotable: "I got into Travis (Pennington) there ... he kinda got into a lapped car and kinda opened a hole there and I tried to fill it," Roberts said. "Everybody (was) runnin' for the bottom and I filled the hole and he come down a little and we got together ... just one of them deals."
Key notes: Roberts earned his third Southern All Star victory of the season in four starts. His other victories came in back-to-back SAS races at Milton, Fla., earlier this month. ... Seven cars finished on the lead lap. ... T.J. Reaid of Acworth, Ga., leads the SAS Rookie of the Year standings. ... Series hopeful Brad Skinner wasn't on hand after flipping his car wildly at Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tenn., last weekend. ... Nevin Gainey won the Crate Late Model feature.
On the move: Ivedent Lloyd of Ocala, Fla., started 24th and finished 11th.
Winner's sponsors: Robert's Jim and Ann Cushman-owned Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Custom Race Engine and is sponsored by Cushman Paint & Body, Hoosier Racing Tire, M&S Concrete, Starrette Trucking and VP Racing Fuels.
