Gregg Satterlee (22) zips around the Port Royal Speedway oval.
What won the race: Building a sizable advantage late in the race, front-row starter Gregg Satterlee of Indiana, Pa., claimed $3,000 in the Zimmer’s United Late Model Southern Series opener at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday night. He took the checkers 3.526 seconds ahead of polesitter Michael Norris.
Quotable: “It never gets old coming and racing here,” Satterlee said. “This place is just so good. To start in the middle of the day and have a racetrack that racy, it’s pretty awesome. This place, we raced all over it all night long.”
Key notes: Satterlee captured his seventh career series victory after sliding ahead of early pacesetter Michael Norris on lap 13 on the bottom. It was his 10th career triumph at the half-mile oval. … Norris said he slipped high and damaged his car's right-rear spoiler during his his runner-up outing but still called Satterlee "the class of the field." ... Fourth-starting Mason Zeigler of Chalk Hill, Pa., retired on lap 20 after slapping the turn-one wall. … The Zimmer's United Late Model Southern Series kicked off its 2021 season as part of the tour’s weekend doubleheader at the historic track. … Sunday's finale features a $4,000-to-win ULMS event alongside a $5,000-to-win race for the big-block modifieds of the Short Track Super Series Fueled by Sunoco. … All of Port Royal's weekend action is streamed live on FloRacing.
On the move: Jason Covert of York Haven, Pa., started 19th and finished 12th.
Winner's sponsors: Satterlee’s Rocket Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Satterlee Petroleum Distributors, Keyser Manufacturing, Classic Ink and Valvoline.
Points chase: Saturday’s race was the tour’s 2021 season opener.
