Brandon Overton celebrates a $10,000 Crate Racin' USA victory at Swainsboro.
What won the race: Inheriting the lead when polesitter Carson Ferguson retired after leading 34 laps, fellow front-row starter Brandon Overton of Evans, Ga., led the rest of Saturday's 50-lapper at Swainsboro Raceway to capture the Rogers-Dabbs Crate Racin' USA finale. Overton turned back late challenges from runner-up Michael Brown for the $10,000 Turkey 100 payday.
Quotable: “Big thanks to Stacey (Roberts) for letting me wheel this hot rod,” Overton said. “I was leading this event last year when my brother passed me, so I am glad I was able to come out on top this year. I am looking forward to the dome next weekend with the Longhorn Factory Team.”
Key notes: Brandon Overton, driving the car his brother Cody previously raced, had a 0.502-second margin at the finish. ... Polesitter Carson Ferguson, driving a Wesley Page-owned Longhorn Chassis, dominated the first 34 laps before pulling his No. 75 car to the infield with apparent mechanical problems. ... Eighth-starting Trent Ivey finished fifth. ... Three cautions slowed the action. ... The initial start was called back. ... A lap-16 yellow appeared when provisional starter Mario Gresham stopped. ... Fifth-running Bubba Rolling retired on the 24th lap and drew a caution. ... Series champ Jimmy Thomas entered the event 56 points ahead of Matt Dooley and wrapped up his second tour title (his first came in 2021). ...
