CROSSVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 11) — Sizzling Shane Clanton of Locust Grove, Ga., stayed on a recent hot streak with a flag-to-flag victory in the unsanctioned Tennessee State Championship at Crossville Raceway. Clanton, the 2008 World 100 winner who won the previous night in Ringgold, Ga., led all 56 laps for a $6,000 payday at the third-mile oval on the Cumberland Plateau as three Georgians grabbed top-five finishes. | Slideshow
