What won the race: Zack Mitchell of Enoree, S.C., rolled to a wire-to-wire triumph in Saturday's third annual Gibbons Memorial at Sumter Speedway. He beat Dennis Franklin to the finish line by 0.855 of a second in the 40-lap Carolina Clash Super Late Model Series feature for a $5,007 payday.
Key notes: Mitchell, the 2017 Carolina Clash champion, registered his second win of 2022 and the 12th of his career on the tour. ... Franklin grabbed second on lap 12 and stayed there to the finish. ... Dale Timms ran inside the top three the entire distance and finished third. ... Adam Yarbrough gained four positions to place fourth. ... The race was slowed by three cautions and last 21 minutes; 10 drivers completed all 40 laps. ... Originally, $4,000-to-win, additional sponsorship boosted the purse to $5,007. ... The race honored Edward “Slick” Gibbons, who passed away in 2020, and his son Ed Gibbons, the late Hall of Famer from South Carolina who died in 2009 from injuries sustained in a car wreck at the age of 46. … The tour made its eighth visit to Sumter.
