BEAUMONT, Texas (April 25) — Rising to the occasion after tough luck struck two leaders, Lee Davis of Greenwood, La., won a photo finish at Golden Triangle Speedway for his first O'Reilly Southern United Professional Racing Series victory in three years. Davis earned $2,000 for his fifth career SUPR victory as he nipped polesitter and series rookie Kevin Sitton at the checkered flags. | Slideshow

Sitton, of Baytown, Texas, had inherited the lead late in the race when officials black-flagged leader Chris Wall of Holden, La., who had suffered damage to the front of his car hitting an infield tire barrier. Sitton led at the white flag but his fuel pump started to fail on the last lap, and Davis won the drag race off turn four for the victory. Duke Whiseant of Texarkana, Ark., finished third followed by Kyle Cummings of Minden, La., and Howard Willis of Dayton, Texas.
