Dylan Knowles pocketed a cool $1,500 payday with a win in the Six Pack 602 Sportsman feature on Saturday night at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, Georgia.
That’s not to say it was an easy ride for the Lanett, Alabama racer. Knowles was dogged the entire way by Chris Hough. The victory was sealed for Knowles when a lap car came between the two leaders on the final lap, leaving Hough to follow in second.
The rest of the top five wasn’t settled until the checkered flag, with positions swapping several times. In the end, it was Matthew Knight finishing third, with Larry Higgins in fourth and Daniel Brewer in fifth.
Wade Chandler won the 602 Sportsman non-qualifier race.
In the Steelhead Late Model feature, Rucker Orr led the opening 11 laps, but was received damage after contact with a lap car. Orr stayed on the track and held to lead, but lost it when Oliver Gentry powered out front after passing four cars in three laps. Gentry went on to score the win, with Orr in second, Justin Shipley in third, Dale Thurman in fourth and Jacques Daniel in fifth.
In the Crate Late Model feature, Blant Duke bypassed Cody Haskins on lap 10 and drove on to the win. Jake Pilgrim, Junior Whitener, and Lucas Ruark rounded out the top five.
Bo Jordan scored the win in the Open Wheel Modified feature, with Colten Collins in second.
Justin Begley became the sixth different winner in as many races in the Economy Bomber feature after initial leader Allen Barber pulled in with mechanical issues. Joe Trantham raced to second, with Dylan Armstrong third, Chris Woodall fourth and Petey Cochran fifth.
Jason Young won in the Street Stingers feature, with Kenny Clark in second, Rick Ricks in third, Jonathan Nelson in fourth and Jamie Heitserether in fifth.
