RINGGOLD, Ga. (Nov. 9) — Randy Weaver of Crossville, Tenn., captured the season finale on the Southern Regional Racing Series while Josh Putnam of Florence, Ala., locked up his second SRRS championship.

Weaver came from his eighth starting spot to overtake polesitter Brandon Kinzer of Allen, Ky., on the 25th lap at the third-mile oval and went on to a $3,000 victory in the Super Late Model portion of the Harvest 100. | Slideshow

Putnam, entering the race with a comfortable edge on Jason Welshan of Maryville, Tenn., started 13th and finished 12th to added another title to his 2011 series crown.

Riley Hickman of Ooltewah, Tenn., followed Weaver past Kinzer on the 26th lap in finishing second while Kinzer settled for third ahead of Welshan and Todd Morrow of Cleveland, Tenn.

On lap 32, Michael Page and Matthew Summers tangled in turn one. A lap later a yellow flew for Shawn Chastain and on lap 35 there was a turn-four tangle to draw the final caution.
