What won the race: Overall fast qualifier and outside front row starter Matt Steward of Ooltewah, Tenn., grabbed the lead in turn two on the opening lap and went on to win Saturday’s Red Clay Series-sanctioned Summer Sizzler, leading flag-to-flag at I-75 Raceway. Steward finished a comfortable 3.224 seconds ahead of polesitter Spencer Singleton in the third-annual event to earn $1,000.

On the move: Jeremy Broome started 15th and finished eighth.
