Cory Hedgecock's winning team at Volunteer Speedway.
What won the race: Cory Hedgecock of Loudon, Tenn., took the lead for good Wednesday on lap 46 when Dale McDowell suffered a flat left-rear tire at the entrance of turn three, drawing the race's seventh caution. Hedgecock paced the final five circuits at Volunteer Speedway, winning the $12,000 15th annual Scorcher. Hedgecock earned his eighth career Valvoline Iron-Man Southern Series feature victory and his third at Volunteer.
Quotable: "I'd rather be lucky than good any day. Dale was fast, I get so tight here the longer we run and Dale is really good about steering," Hedgecock said. "Just tickled to death, glad it all worked out. Saw he was having a flat going down on the left-rear with that restart and thought if we could just keep riding around here, I might be able to get this thing."
Key notes: Hedgecock led the first 18 laps from the pole and a total of 23 overall. ... McDowell, of Chickamauga, Ga., led laps 19 through 45 and recovered to finish fifth. ... Michael Chilton of Salvisa, Ky., advanced 10 spots to claim the runner-up position, 1.529 seconds back. ... Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg, Tenn., overcame early right-rear damage to finish third. ... Cla Knight of North Augusta, S.C., gained 10 positions and finished fourth. ... Jensen Ford suffered a broken driveshaft on the lap-45 restart, causing a multicar incident and the race's final caution. Ford failed to continue and finished 11th. ... After apparent engine problems in his heat race, Will Roland transferred through a consolation race and finished 12th. ... Camaron Marlar ran inside the top-three until transmission and overheating problems knocked him out on lap 42. ... Cameron Weaver suffered mechanical problems in his heat race while Dalton Cook hit the wall during hot laps; both scratched. ... Wednesday's feature, the tour’s fourth-ever visit to Volunteer, was slowed by eight cautions and lasted 46 minutes, with seven competitors completing 50 laps.
On the move: Consolation race winner, Vic Hill of Mosheim, Tenn., started 18th and finished seventh.
