What won the race: Rusty Schlenk of McClure, Ohio, led all 50 laps Saturday at Southern Raceway for a $5,000 victory and his first career Southern All Star Series victory. Schlenk took the checkers ahead of Friday's $3,000 winner G.R. Smith.

Quotable: "I'm glad we made the trip. It's definitely a different racetrack. Man, it took me all Thursday and all Friday to get it figured out, but I think we nailed it tonight," Schlenk said. "I was a little too tight. I wasn't expecting it to rubber up that quick. But we held on there. I saved a little bit for the last five laps and thank god we had a caution there and got rid of that lapped traffic. It all worked out in our favor."

Key notes: Nine of 20 starters completed 50 laps. ... Several cautions slowed the action, including for a first-lap pileup in turn one and a lap-seven tangle among Leon Henderson, Mark Dodson and Dean Carpenter. ... The Southern All Stars are scheduled to return to Southern Raceway on Nov. 12-13.

On the move: Christian Hanger of Winchester, Tenn., started ninth and finished fourth.
