WOODSTOCK, GA - Michael Page became the first repeat Super Late Model feature winner of the season at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, GA Saturday night, taking the lead on a mid-race restart and going on to pick up his second win of the year.<br /> <br /> Ray Cook made a rare appearance for a regular show at Dixie Speedway Saturday night and took the lead at the green ahead of defending track champion Donald McIntosh. They stayed in those positions until a restart on lap 19 when Page made the move at the green and drove down the middle, passing both Cook and McIntosh for the lead. Page was untouchable from that point on as he scored the win. McIntosh made the pass for second at the white flag leaving Cook in third at the checkers. Jason Croft also made a last lap pass around T.J. Alford to take fourth.<br /> <br /> In other action, Don Jenkins took advantage of a lap eight caution to take the lead from Chris Fennell in the Steelhead Late Model Championship feature to go on to his third win of the season. Chuck Padgett made is way to second in his first race of the season followed by Fennell, Scottie Pritchett and Michael Brewer.<br /> <br /> Asphalt ace T.J. Reaid took his first ever dirt victory in the Crate Late Model feature Saturday. Reaid took the lead and never looked back as he led Hunter Jones, Maddie Crane, Gathan Burns and Ted Minnix to the checkered flag.<br /> <br /> Andy Morris led the way in the Super Bomber feature for his third victory at Dixie this season. Randall Powell finished in second, with Terry Vollrath in third, Russell Schell in fourth and Daniel Brewer in fifth.<br /> <br /> Retirement seems to be working out well for Dan Meadows in the Economy Bomber division as the former Lockheed employee took his fourth win of the season ahead of Chris Blalock in second, Jimmy Fetterman in third, David Burtz in fourth and James Gagnon in fifth.<br /> <br /> Zack Sanders looked to have things well in hand for the win in the Pony Class until major mechanical problems sidelined him. This handed the lead over to Jamie Cross for several laps until Travis Smith made the pass on lap 12, and went on to score his fifth win of the season. Cross would stay in second trailed by Bo Jordan in third, Jeremy Ray in fourth and Mitchell Pope in fifth.<br /> <br /> Todd Lankster once again made his way from the rear of the Cruiser field to take the win, his fifth of the season. Randy Ledford made his way to second with Jimmy Wilson, John Sexton, and George Wilson rounded out the top five.<br /> <br /> Dixie Speedway will return to action July 12 with a Super Bomber Championship and Demolition Derby.
