6.12.20 Southern All Star Late Models Results
Breazeale and Winger winners at Deep South
RACE RECAP: LOXLEY, AL—The Southen All Stars headed South from the Huntsville AL office to the city of Loxley, AL for their first visit to the beautiful Deep South Speedway. Owner/Promoter Billy Roberson has been working to change the once 1/2 mile track into a fast and competitive 3/8 mile clay oval. The inaugural Duals in Dixie fans watched 2 great nights of racing for the first time visit for the series.
2019 Champion David Breazeale of Four Corners, MS and Ashton Winger of Hampton, GA picked up wins in the Duals.
Dual 1: Since the new configuration of Deep South Speedway, we knew we would see a new track record set for the first dual. Larry Harrod of Plains, GA set a time of 15.675 to pick up Sunoco Fuels/Knowles Race Cars and Parts fast time. Since Harrod was in group 2, he started on the outside front row along side Breazeale who was quickest in the 1st group. Breazeale crossed the line after 1 qualifying lap and pulled off the track with a broken drive shaft. His crew worked up until the feature to get the car ready and it paid off. At the drop of the green flag, Breazeale took the lead and never wavered. Josh Putnam from Florence, AL charged from his 7th starting spot to finish in the runner up position. Rounding out the top 5 was Harrod, Cruise with the Champions Rookie of the Year Sam Seawright from Ft. Payne, AL 4th and Milton, FL driver Joseph Joiner. (Brian McLeod photo | Dirt Scenes)
