What won the race: Tanner English of Benton, Ky., overcame his polesitting father Terry near midway Saturday at Duck River Raceway Park to earn $4,000 and his first Southern All Star Racing Series victory. Outside front-row starter Brad Skinner dominated early on a slick surface but retired during the first caution, handing the lead to Terry English.

Quotable: "He's just as good as anybody here," Tanner English said of his battle with his father. "He's one of the best, and when it comes down to this kind of track condition he's really good."
