What won the race: Second-starting Ashton Winger of Hampton, Ga., overcame contact with a lapped car on the 32nd lap, then continued after hard contact with Brandon Overton on the ensuing restart to lead all 44 laps of Tuesday's Roscoe Smith Classic at Senoia Raceway. Winger beat Donald McIntosh by 1.058 seconds for the $7,544 payday, his third career Schaeffer's Southern Nationals victory, all at Senoia.

Quotable: "I’m not really sure what happened there with me, Brandon and Cody (Overton). Brandon slid me and I tried to get turned and pointed as early as I could. I thought I was coming down the hill, but Cody was there and I didn’t want to clip him in the right rear and, man, stuff's just happening so fast," Winger said. "I’m not dumb, the caution was for Brandon and I made contact with him. You know, if that was all on me, I apologize and he’s one of the best guys in the pits. That’s one of the last guys you want get into it with."
