The Double Down Motorsports team in victory lane.
What won the race: Third-starting Hudson O'Neal of Martinsville, Ind., overtook Spencer Hughes on a lap-13 restart and paced the final 28 circuits at Smoky Mountain Speedway on Saturday, earning his second career Valvoline Iron-Man Southern Series feature victory and collecting $5,000.
Quotable: “I was just able to (cruise) around under that caution and think about what I needed to do and where I needed to be on the racetrack,” O’Neal said. “I just took advantage of Spencer not exactly knowing (where to be). He was just sitting duck on the racetrack … it’s hard to lead these races. It’s way easier (to get a perspective while running) second."
Key notes: O'Neal earned the victory at his car owner Roger Seller's racetrack after the Lucas Oil stop at Magnolia Motor Speedway was rained out. ... Spencer Hughes of Meridian, Miss., led the first 12 laps, but settled for the runner-up position and crossed the finish line 1.925 seconds behind O'Neal. ... Polesitter Ross Bailes of Clover, S.C., was only able to complete seven laps and finished 18th. ... The 17th annual Iron Man Classic, the only scheduled stop at Smoky Mountain for the Iron-Man Southern Series, was slowed by six separate incidents and lasted 27 minutes, with seven competitors completing all 40 laps.
On the move: Jensen Ford of Johnson City, Tenn., started 21st and finished seventh.
Winner's sponsors: O’Neal’s Double Down Motorsports Rocket Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Lazydays RV, O’Neal’s Salvage and Recycling, WR1 Sim Chassis and Lucas Oil.
Points chase: Before Smoky Mountain: 1. Jensen Ford (299); 2. Cory Hedgecock (168) 3. Steve Smith (151); 4. Donald McIntosh (150); 5. Jimmy Owens (135).
