What won the race: Reversing the finishing order from a battle the previous night, Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, Ga., overtook Brandon Overton with two laps remaining Sunday at Rome Speedway for a $4,000 Ultimate Southeast victory. Overton led laps 25-38 before slipping ever so slightly as he tried to get around the lapped car of Jim Manka. McDowell took advantage of the slight bobble and slipped past the leader as they raced off of turn two.

Quotable: "It's ironic, last night I messed up in lapped traffic and got (passed) by Brandon and tonight he kinda got in lapped traffic and I got by him. So this world is really round I guess. It comes back around," said McDowell. "Actually the groove moved aroun. I stayed on the bottom too long early and the top got going so I moved up and then the bottom got going there at the end and I was able to make a few passes there, so it was a good night for us."
