TAZEWELL, Tenn. - Billy Ogle, Jr. of Knoxville, Tenn. overtook his teammate and car owner Stacy Boles on the eleventh lap and went on to capture his second career Old Man’s Garage Spring Nationals Series victory at the Tazewell Speedway in Tazewell, Tenn. on Saturday night.
Boles, who pulled out on the tenth circuit with mechanical problems, led the first ten laps of the 50-lap race with Ogle running in the second spot, but after misfortune for Boles, Ogle took the point and led the remaining distance to the $6,000 payday.
The win for Ogle was his second-straight at the 1/3 mile high-banked oval as he also captured the $10,000 WoO LMS “Ray Varner Ford 50″ win on April 11.
Chris Madden finished in second, with Vic Hill in third, David Payne in fourth and Mark Dotson in fifth.
Austin Smith, Josh Collins, Brian Smith, Jason Croft and Anthony Arnwine rounded out the top ten.
In preliminary action, Dawsonville, GA’s Donald McIntosh blistered the Tazewell Speedway with an 11.178 second lap in time trials. Boles took the Dash win while Madden and Payne took the Heat Race victories.
The Old Man’s Garage Spring Nationals Series will return to action for the final three points races of the tour on Friday May 22 at Boyd’s Speedway in Ringgold, GA paying $4,000-to-win, then Saturday night, May 23 at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, GA paying $4,000-to-win and finally on Sunday night, May 24, at Rome Speedway in Rome, GA paying $6,000-to-win.
