Austin Neely won $5,000 in his debut at Wythe Raceway.
What won the race: Pole-starting Austin Neely of Tazewell, Tenn., led all 35 laps unchallenged at Wythe Raceway, winning Saturday's $5,000 Steel Block Bandits Dirt Late Model Challenge Series feature. Neely became the fifth first-time Steel Block Bandits winner this year and the eighth winner in as many races as he captured his Wythe debut.
Quotable: “I was having Bristol flashbacks when I got behind that lapped car and I wasn’t going to let this one slip away,” a relieved Neely said. “I’ve never raced here but it has a lot of the same characteristics as (Volunteer Speedway) and (Tazewell Speedway), so I just drew my notes from that. This place is a lot of fun, it’s smooth and fast, great job by the track crew and thanks to all the fans who came out tonight.”
Key notes: Brad Lowe moved into the runner-up position on a lap-22 restart and trailed Neely the rest of the way, finishing over 11 seconds back. ... Seventh-starting Robbie Emory took third on lap 24 and completed the podium. ... Dan Breuer advanced six positions and finished fourth. ... After failing to finish his heat race and starting last, Tyler Bare gained eight spots and finished seventh. ... Series points leader Derick Quade ran as high as second in the early laps before retiring on lap 21 and finishing 12th. ... Saturday's feature, part of the 50th anniversary celebration for Wythe Raceway, was slowed by two cautions and lasted 15 minutes, with 11 drivers completing all 35 laps.
On the move: Tyler Bare of Rockbridge Baths, Va., started 15th and finished seventh.
