G.R. Smith enjoys victory lane at Dublin.
What won the race: G.R. Smith of Huntersville, N.C., took the lead following a lap-47 restart and went on to collect $5,000 for his first career Ultimate Super Late Model Series victory in the Rattlesnake Rumble. Polesitter Dennis Franklin of Gaffney, S.C., led all but the last few laps when his right-rear tire went away.

Eleven drivers completed all 50 laps and many experienced tire-wear issues. ... The caution-plagued feature took nearly an hour to complete. ... The series visited Dublin for the first of two events. ... Ultimate competitors return on Oct. 11.
On the move: Runner-up Jeff Smith came forward from 13th and completed the last 12 laps with a flat left-front tire.
Points chase: Franklin entered with a 25-point edge over Overton and a 26-point edge over Smith.
