Billy Ogle Jr. inherited the point and led the final 34 laps.
What won the race: Inheriting the point when race-long leader Chris Madden of Gray Court, S.C., tangled with a lapped car on the 16th lap, Billy Ogle Jr. of Knoxville, Tenn., paced the final 34 laps en route to a $6,000 payday.
Key notes: Ogle earned his first Spring Nationals victory; the miniseries has yet to see a repeat winner in its brief two-year history. He's the 12th series winner. ... Chris Madden, whose car slammed the turn-one wall after contact with Jeff Wolfenbarger's machine, retired following the incident and finished 18th. ... Other cautions appeared for Chris Wilson (lap five), Tommy Kerr's spin (lap 17) and Cory Hedgecock (lap 35). ... Riley Hickman of Ooltewah, Tenn., entered the event fresh off a March stretch where he finished no worse than third in six Super Late Model starts and won two events; he logged a quiet sixth-place finish Saturday. ... Chris Ferguson of Mount Holly, N.C., made a guest appearance in Sanford Goddard's famed Warrior house car. ... Mark Vineyard of Powell, Tenn., escaped injury after flipping violently during hot laps. ... Cory Hedgecock won the Limited Late Model feature. ... Friday's Spring Nationals event at Tri-County Racetrack in Brasstown, N.C., was rained out and reset for Thursday, April 10.
On the move: After winning a last-chance race, Skip Arp of Georgetown, Tenn., charged from 11th to round out the podium.
Winner's sponsors: Ogle drives a Blount Motorsports Rocket Chassis powered by a Vic Hill Race Engine with sponsorship from Arnold Trucking, Bearden Oil Company, Blount Excavating, Cherokee Millwright & Mechanical, GEOServices, Massey Electric, Matlock Decal Company and Stowers (CAT) Machinery Corp.
Points chase: Billy Ogle Jr. (388) leads after three races followed by Mike Marlar (384), Eric Wells (376), Vic Hill (372) and Stacy Boles (370).
