EASTABOGA, Ala. - Brandon Overton scored his second career Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series win Saturday night at Talladega Short Track in Eastaboga, Alabama.

Overton passed race leader Dale McDowell on lap 28, then slid up the track coming off turn two, giving McDowell another shot at the top spot. But McDowell could not hang on as they entered turn three.
Cory Hedgecock then slipped his nose in and tried to take over the top spot but could not. Overton then checked out on the field, but saw his advantage go away due to a late race caution.
