Dale McDowell scored a very important Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series victory on Saturday night.
The Chickamauga, Georgia veteran took the lead with an inside pass on lap five and led the rest of the way en route to the victory at Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tennessee.
It marked McDowell’s 45th career series win, and earned him a $7,500 payday. In victory lane, McDowell said it is likely to be his last start until November due to health issues that will keep him sidelined in October.
According to a post on his website, McDowell is scheduled to miss at least six weeks following upcoming surgery for prostate cancer.
Commerce, Georgia’s Payton Freeman followed in second, with Eli Beets in third, Zack Mitchell in fourth, and Sam Seawright in fifth.
Robby Moses, Forrest Trent, Dusty Carver, Dalton Cook, and Donald McIntosh rounded out the top 10.
The Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series returns to action on Saturday, October 23 at Georgia’s Senoia Raceway. For more information, visit SASDirt.com.
