Matt Dooley edged out Rick Rickman to take the Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series victory on Saturday night at Mississippi’s Columbus Speedway.
The victory was worth a $4,000 payday for the Brooks, Georgia racer.
Dooley and Rickman were battling for second behind leader Josh Putnam, who appeared to have the race in hand with three laps to go. But when Putnam’s car slowed suddenly, that moved them into a fight for the iwn.
Dooley would edge Rickman at the line to complete lap 37 and Dooley would go on to lead the rest of the way to pick up his first career series win and his first career Super Late Model win.
Rickman followed in second, with Dalton Cook in third, Billy Franklin in fourth, and Christian Hanger in fifth.
Matt Cooper, Austin Franklin, Dillon Crim, Putnam, and Ronnie Cooper rounded out the top 10.
The Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series is slated to return to action on Saturday, June 18 at East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, Alabama. For more information, visit SASDirt.com.
