Skylar Marlar heads to his first Southern All Star victory.
What won the race: Skylar Marlar of Winfield, Tenn., outran older brother Mike for a $4,000 payday and his first career Southern All Star Series victory at Tennessee National Raceway. The younger Marlar turned back an early challenge from Josh Putnam in leading every lap.

Mississippi invader Brian Rickman finished third. ... The Southern All Stars made their first appearance of 2015 at Hohenwald. ... Todd Morrow of Chattanooga, Tenn., winner of last year's SAS event at Tennessee National, finished 12th.
On the move: Runner-up Mike Marlar started seventh.
