RACE RECAP<\/strong>: MARYVILLE, TN<\/strong>–The Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series presented by Max Fab made its first stop of the season Saturday night at the Talladega Short Track during NASCAR Weekend in the area and the record crowd on hand got to see a true battle for the 40 lap main event as Brandon Overton got his fourth career series win. It was hard fought as he moved to the outside of Ashton Winger who led lap one, and then Overton took the spot back on lap two. Then with the addition of Austin Horton,\u00a0 the trio battled for the top spot throughout the race three wide several times with Overton coming out on top. Winger had to battle with Horton late in the race to keep second but he managed to get his second top five finish of the weekend. 2017 Southern All Star Champion Austin Horton made his first start with the series this year and was in the battle all night and just came up short and finished third, fourth went to Kyle Beard from his 10th<\/sup> starting spot and fifth to Riley Hickman finished fifth after his 22nd<\/sup> place finish the night before at Smoky Mt.\u00a0 Neil Baggett finished\nsixth, Dillon Tidmore seventh, Zach Leonhardi eighth, Ahanna Parkhurst ninth\nand Bub McCool tenth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
