What won the race: Polesitter Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga., won a duel with eighth-starting Brandon Overton of Appleton, Ga., for a Southern Nationals Bonus Series at Tri-County Racetrack, earning $4,053 in the Tar Heel 50. Early race leader Casey Roberts spun out of contention in turn one on the fifth lap.
Quotable: "Brandon came up through there and gave me all I wanted. I had to work for that one. That was a lot of fun, me and him throwing sliders back and forth," said Davenport, who grew up racing at Tri-County. "Everybody out there watching, they've gotta come check this place out. I love this place. I know this is home for me, but this is one helluva racetrack."

Despite carburetor issues, Davenport earned his fourth career Southern Nationals Bonus Series victory. ... Davenport piloted Randy Weaver's No. 116, which he'll enter again in Lucas Oil Series events at Dixie and Rome on Saturday and Sunday. ... The race was slowed by five cautions. ... Three complete starts were required, including after a 10-lap pileup triggered when Brian Ligon and David Payne made contact exiting turn two. ... Two cautions appeared on the fifth lap for a spin by leader Casey Roberts and third-running Mike Marlar's turn-one spin. ... George Mashburn spun exiting turn four on lap 10. .... .The race was presented by Jacky Jones Automotive Group, Rick’s Rental and Hogsed’s Sports Wear.
On the move: Brandon Overton of Appleton, Ga., started eighth and finished second.
