The Shane McDowell Racing team in victory lane at Wythe.
What won the race: Ninth-starting Dale McDowell of Chickamauga, Ga., powered past Cory Hedgecock in turn one on the 37th lap Saturday and led the rest of the 53-lap Schaeffer's Southern Nationals feature at Wythe Raceway. McDowell took the checkers 2.808 seconds ahead of Hedgecock while first-half race leader Vic Hill faded to finish fourth.
Quotable: "We really kind of gave up — or I didn't give up — but we really was lost and didn't know exactly what to do," McDowell said. "We made some mistakes in the heat and was a little bit off qualifying. And so (Dale's brother) Shane (McDowell) kept digging, kept digging, kept digging, and made some adjustments, and the car drove right up through there so it was really good."
Key notes: McDowell earned his eighth career series victory. His previous triumph came in last season's finale at Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tenn. (where the series heads Sunday). ... Runner-up Cory Hedgecock, who led laps 30-36, was trying to become the first driver to win the first two series races since Chris Madden in '07. ... Third-finishing Vic Hill, who led the first 29 laps, was gunning for his fourth series victory at Wythe. ... The feature's most exciting moment came on the 30th lap when Hill bobbled exiting turn two. Hedgecock grabbed the lead down the backstretch and McDowell immediately dropped Hill to third. ... Nine drivers completed 53 laps. ... Four cautions slowed the action (Jensen Ford's left-front flat on the third lap; second-running Carson Ferguson's ignition failure on the second lap; a slowing Parker Martin on lap 16; and a slowing Kenny Collins on lap 44) ... Wythe hosted the series for the 15th time.
On the move: Winner Dale McDowell started ninth.
