Ashton Winger enjoys victory lane at Smoky Mountain with his crew.
What won the race: Completing a sweep of the Schaeffer's Iron-Man Championship Series's Volunteer State doubleheader, Ashton Winger of Hampton, Ga., led all 30 laps to capture Saturday night's Iron-Man Moonshine Classic at Smoky Mountain Speedway. The rising 19-year-old star earned $3,000 after taking the checkered flag 0.836 of a second ahead of Tennessean Cory Hedgecock, who also finished second to Winger in Friday's Iron-Man tour stop at Crossville Speedway.
Key notes: Winger became the first repeat winner in six Iron-Man Series events this season. ... One night after registering his first-ever Iron-Man Series victory at Crossville (Tenn.) Speedway, Winger doubled his tour win total. ... Winger, who came off the outside pole to pace the feature's entire distance, is the son of GW Performance shock guru Gary Winger. ... The race was slowed by one caution flag, on lap 18.
On the move: "We'll go try it one more time (Sunday) at Rome (Ga.) and hopefully go 3-for-3 this weekend," Winger said.
Winner's sponsors: Winger’s Rocket Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by E-Z-Go, Keyser Mfg., Integra, Boydbilt Fabrication, Collins Signs, Turkey Creek Snacks, The Realty Queen & Team, Franklin Enterprises, Crown Security and Johnny Doan Plumbing.
Points chase: After Smoky Mountain, Robby Moses (1,108) leads Joseph Faulkner (1,070), Joey Standridge (1,032), Casey Turman (986) and Michael Chilton (639).
