RINGGOLD, Ga. – Mar. 19, 2016 – Dale McDowell had a flawless night at Boyd’s Speedway.

The Chickamauga, Ga. driver picked up $4,000 after leading from start to finish in the Southern Nationals Bonus Series-sanctioned Lucky Star 40 event. This was McDowell’s first win on the tour. He became the 18th different series winner and second different winner this season.

Polesitter Cory Hedgecock and McDowell brought the field to life for the start of the 40-lap main event with McDowell jumping to the early lead. Hedgecock and Donald McIntosh would tuck in line for second and third. By the fifth circuit, sixth-starting Jonathan Davenport would work his way up to the fourth position and challenge Hedgecock for third numerous times.

By the halfway point, McDowell would continue to lead while McIntosh, Hedgecock, Davenport and Jared Landers held on to the remaining top-five spots. By the later stages in the race, 13th starting Randy Weaver would muscle his way to the sixth spot and challenge for fifth but settled for a spot just outside the top-five. McDowell would cross the line first ahead of McIntosh, Hedgecock, Davenport and Landers.

Two caution flags slowed the 40 lapper. The first yellow flag would wave on lap 13 as Tim Busha slowed on the front chute with an oil leak. The final yellow flag came on lap 36 as Jason Welshan slowed at the top of turn two.

McDowell drove the Team Dillon Racing owned, Bad Boy Buggies, Big Dog Motorsports, Cometic Gasket, Ferris Commercial Mowers, Klotz Synthetics, National Boiler Service and UNOH-sponsored, ECR-powered Warrior Race Car to the victory.

The Southern Nationals Bonus Series will be back in action on Friday Night May 20th at the Crossville (Tenn.) Speedway for a 50-lap $5,000-to-win event.
