Donald McIntosh celebrates his third Spring Nationals win of the season.
What won the race: Polesitter Donald McIntosh of Dawsonville, Ga., cruised to his third Schaeffer’s Spring Nationals victory of the season, winning comfortably ahead of Casey Roberts Sunday night at Rome Speedway. McIntosh, who finished 1.469 seconds ahead of Roberts, earned $5,000, while Tanner English finished third.
Quotable: "It's always fun to come to Rome," McIntosh said. "The first place I ever won on dirt was here. This is actually my first Super win here. What a night. This car was phenomenal and I can't thank these guys (enough) for staying behind me because we were scratching our heads last night. We were way off. But this sport will sure humble you. What a great night."
Key notes: McIntosh earned his sixth career Schaeffer’s Spring Nationals victory, tying Mike Marlar for second on the tour’s all-time list. … Eleven drivers finished the race, all on the lead lap. … No heat races were contested. … Tanner English and Casey Roberts swapped the runner-up spot during a pair of mid-race restarts, with English taking second on lap 28 and Roberts returning the favor on lap 37. … Sixth-starting Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, Ga., fell back a couple of spots early, but bounced back to grab fourth on lap 42. … Second-running Ricky Weiss of Headingly, Manitoba, pitted on lap 27, returned to the rear of the field and worked his way back to fifth place. … Brandon Overton of Evans, Ga., gave up second when he pitted on lap 11. He didn’t return. … A day after easily winning at Dixie Speedway, Michael Page of Douglasville, Ga., started 10th and was an early retiree. … Georgian Austin Smith scratched after breaking his motor during hot laps. … The tour concludes its season Monday with the $10,052-to-win Scott Sexton Memorial at 411 Motor Speedway in Seymour, Tenn.
On the move: Tod Hernandez started 17th and finished 11th.
