What won the race: Polesitter Tucker Anderson of Blairsville, Ga., led all 40 laps unchallenged in winning Friday's Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series return to Hartwell Motor Speedway.

Seven starters completed the distance in the 33-minute 40-lapper. … It was the first SAS event at Hartwell since Chris Madden won $4,000 on Aug. 30, 2008, and the first major Late Model touring race since July 16, 2009, a $3,500 Schaeffer’s Southern Nationals stop won by Casey Roberts. ... ArrowVision Live was slated to begin its streaming partnership with the Southern All Stars, but technical difficulties prevented Friday's video from playing live (a replay is expected to be available at a later time).
