Chad Puckett had to work hard to score the win in Saturday night’s Limited Late Model feature at Georgia’s Winder-Barrow Speedway.
Brant Carey was nipping at his heels through most of the race, including on a late race restart. But Puckett was able to stay out front to record the victory at the 3/8-mile clay raceway.
Puckett jumped out to the early lead from the pole, with Ken Lampp and Carey in tow. Lampp tried an outside move in turn two on the opening lap, only to find Carey moving past him for second.
Time and again, Carey would challenge Puckett, but could not get a run. The battle was broken up momentarily when the first caution of the race flew when Chris Woods slowed on the frontstretch.
Carey got one more shot at Puckett when the caution flew before the end of the final lap when Jimmy Webb’s car slowed coming off turn two.
On the restart, Puckett pulled out to a three car length advantage, and held Carey at bay to score the victory.
Rod Roberts finished in third, with John Anderson in fourth and Scott Frady in fifth.
In other action, Cowboy Manders beat out Chad Stinchcomb for the Hobby feature victory. Dustin Cason finished in third, followed by Jerome Hanson in fourth and Shawn Tullis in fifth.
Chris Jones was the winner in the Modified Street feature. Tracy Pannell finished in second, with Keith Wright in third, Johnny Hall in fourth and Aaron Criswell in fifth.
Jeff Casper scored the victory in the Stock V8 feature, with Tim Corbin, Mark Chancey, Zach Brown and Trip Sexton rounding out the top five.
Justin Taylor came away with the win in the Stock 4A feature, followed by Shane Peppers in second, Allen Cantrell in third, P.J. Taylor in fourth and Joseph Dyer in fifth.
Coty Sanders won the Stock 4B feature. Coty Sanders was second, with Grant Roberts third, Elliott Brayboy third, Franklin Sargent fourth and Randall Jenkins fifth.
The NVRA vintage racers were also on hand Saturday night, with Randy Woodard winning the first feature race for the group. Eric Rogers finished in second, with Ernie Walker in third, Stacey Cotton in fourth and Dale Stephens in fifth.
Woody Callaway won the second NVRA feature. Happy Winslett finished in second, with Gary Smith in third, Jerry Williams in fourth and Jabe Jones in fifth.
