What won the race: Polesitter Rodgerick Dykes of Smith Station, Ala., charged to the front of the field at the drop of the green flag, leading all 50 laps for a $2,500 NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series victory in Golden Isles Speedway's East Coast Battle Royal.

Quotable: “I kept waiting for someone to pull up alongside me, or something to happen to the race car,” Dykes said. “Everything that happened tonight was just too good to be true. I kept hearing noises like something was getting ready to break, or for a wheel to fall off, but it didn’t. I sure was glad to see that checkered flag because I was really nervous those last few laps.”

Key notes: The race was slowed by five cautions. ... A yellow flag flew on lap 20 when Montana Dudley spun in turn two. ... Jimmy Schiltz drew a lap-22 caution when he spun in turn one. ... A third yellow flew on the ensuing restart for Joshua Bishop. ... Mitchell Coble slowed in turn four for a lap-32 caution. ... The final yellow fell on lap 41 when Cody Martin spun in turn four.

On the move: Ryan Crane of Panama City, Fla., advanced from the 18th starting spot to finish ninth.
