What won the race: Polesitter Tyler Millwood of Kingston, Ga., led all 60 laps of Saturday night’s Governor’s Cup at Talladega Short Track to capture his first career Southern All Star Series victory. Millwood took the checkers 1.383 seconds ahead of Dillon Tidmore to earn a career-high $10,000 payday.
Quotable: “Sometimes it’s just your night and you can’t do nothing wrong. The only we could’ve done better there was qualify on the pole," said Millwood, who was third-fastest in his qualifying group but later won a heat race. “We’ve had a good car ever since we got in these Rockets. We just needed to t do some fine-tuning. We finally found where it needed it to be.”
Key notes: Michael Page of Douglasville, Ga., was slated to start 10th but failed to complete a lap. … Brad Berry brought out the first caution of race on lap-15 with a flat right-rear tire, while fast qualifier Josh Adkins pulled off on lap-34. … The Southern All Stars Series made its first of two planned visits to Talladega Short Track this season for Saturday’s third annual Governor’s Cup. The series is scheduled to return to Talladega on Oct. 4 for a $4,000-to-win event. … The program also included the Southern All Stars Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies. The class of 2020 includes Ronnie Johnson, Clint Smith, Lynn "Preacher" Phillips, Alfred Gurley, Mickey and Mike Swims and Clyde Haynes.
On the move: Heath Hindman of Signal Mountain, Tenn., started 13th and finished sixth.
Winner's sponsors: Millwood's Millwood Motorsports Rocket Chassis has a Clements Engine and carries sponsorship from Millwood Plumbing, Machine Construction Company, On-Time Hauling, Glenncast Inc., Penske Shocks and Competition Race Equipment.
