Casey Roberts poses in victory lane after his $4,000 Ultimate Southeast win at Dixie.
What won the race: Tracking down leader Michael Page on lap 28, Casey Roberts of Toccoa, Ga., slipped by in traffic and then withstood challenges from Page over the final few laps to capture his first Ultimate Southeast Series win of the season Saturday at Dixie Speedway. Earning $4,000, Roberts recorded his series-leading 21st career victory. Page finished second ahead of Chris Madden.
Quotable: “Any time you can outrun Michael (Page) here you’ve done a night’s work,” said Roberts. “He’s awesome here you know. I just snuck by there in lapped traffic. That’s the only way we got by him. We were able to keep pace with him there, but man he’s good here. We just snuck by that lapped car there. I saw an opening and I said, you know, that’s my only chance to get by him.”
Key notes: Michael Page slipped by early race-leader Justin Shipley on the 10th lap and held the top spot for the next 18 circuits until Roberts was able to grab the lead for the final 12. … It was Roberts's second win with his new-for-2019 ride with Wynn Motorsports. His first came March 16 at Florida's Southern Raceway. ... There have been six winners in six series races. … Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader Jonathan Davenport of Blairsville, Ga., finished fifth. … Nineteen of the 24 starters completed all 40 laps. … It was the first of two stops the Ultimate Southeast Series will make at Dixie Speedway this season. … The series returns July 27. … Dixie Speedway is celebrating its 50th anniversary. … Matt Bishop won the Crate Late Model feature.
On the move: Gary McPherson of Dalton, Ga., started 12th and finished eighth.
Winner's sponsors: Roberts's Wynn Motorsports Longhorn entry carries a Jay Dickens engine and sponsorship from Wynn Land Development, M&S Concrete, Cushman Paint & Body, Baird Truck & Rental Sales, Anchorage Marine, Millwood Plumbing, Simpson Trucking and Penske Racing Shocks.
