Gregg Satterlee earned $6,333 in the Butch Renninger Memorial.
What won the race: Regaining the lead when a flat tire knocked Michael Norris from contention, Gregg Satterlee of Indiana, Pa., earned $6,333 in Saturday's Zimmer's United Late Model Series feature at Port Royal Speedway. Satterlee, who overtook Norris on the ninth lap but lost the lead on lap 21, went back out front on lap 22 and won the 33-lapper over Rick Eckert.
Quotable: "I hate that for Mike, he got into the lapped car and cut his left-front tire down," Satterlee said. "I'd loved to have race that race out in lapped traffic with him. I was kind of being pretty conservative, and I've done that here before, it's so easy to overdrive and lose time. He snuck back in there and got by me and I think we were going to have a really good race. I was just kind of riding around there and I was getting ready to turn it up and see if I couldn't get back past him."
