FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Donald McIntosh Captures First Career Southern Nationals Victory at 411 Speedway
By Chris Tilley, Series P.R. Coordinator
SEYMOUR, TN (July 21, 2015)—Donald McIntosh of Dawsonville, Ga. scored his first-career Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals Series victory Tuesday Night at 411 Motor Speedway and pocketed the $3,500 first place prize.
McIntosh led start to finish to become the 28th different winner in series history while driving the Blount Motorsports, Massey Electric, Stower’s Cat and Tennessee R.V. sponsored Vic Hill Racing Engines-powered Rocket Chassis.
DirtonDirt.com Dash winner Donald McIntosh and FK Rod Ends Fast Qualifier Mack McCarter led the field to the green flag with McIntosh gaining the point immediately while McCarter and Hill tucked into the second and third spots.
The first of three yellow flags would wave on the fourth lap as an accident involving Ross White and Kenneth Howell in turn one would result in both cars going to their respective pits for the night with heavy damage. The second yellow flag would wave on the 21st circuit as Jeff Neubert spun in turn four. The final yellow would come out on lap 32 as Cory Hedgecock came to a stop in turn four with a flat tire.
With the victory, McIntosh took over the series points lead and holds just a three point lead over Vic Hill heading into Modoc Raceway.
The series will be back in action on Thursday Night July 23rd at Modoc (S.C.) Raceway for Round # 3 paying $3,500-to-win.
