Dale McDowell made a late-race charge through lapped traffic to take the lead with three laps to go and capture his third career ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series win on Sunday night at Georgia’s Rome Speedway.

The Chickamauga, Georgia speedster collected the $4,000 top prize for the victory in the 40-lap feature.

Brandon Overton of Evans, Georgia led 13 laps in search of his third series win of the season, but had to settle for second. Donald McIntosh of Dawsonville, Georgia finished third, with Blairsville, Georgia’s Jonathan Davenport in fifth and Michael Page of Douglasville, Georgia rounding out and all Peach State top five.

Davenport and Jason Welshan brought the field to green, with Davenport taking the early lead. The first of five caution flags came out on lap 12, and on the restart, Overton got by McDowell for the third spot, and Millwood moved into the top five getting by Welshan. Overton kept his momentum to front going, as he took over the second position from McIntosh on lap 14. In the meantime, Davenport had built up a one second lead on the field.

The second caution flag on lap 17 slowed the field for a restart with Davenport leading Overton, McIntosh and McDowell. Overton moved up to challenge Davenport for the lead on lap 22, and they were battled side-by-side on lap 24 before Overton took over the point on lap 25. Behind the leaders, McDowell got by McIntosh for third. On lap 28, McDowell had got around Davenport for second, but the caution flag came out and going back to the last completed lap for the restart negated the pass.

The lap 28 restart saw Overton leading Davenport, McDowell, McIntosh, and Millwood. McDowell once again put the heat on Davenport for the second spot, and made the pass to claim the position on lap 30. On lap 31, the final caution flag of the race came out to bunch up the field for a nine lap dash to the finish. Overton had McDowell, Davenport, McIntosh and Millwood in tow for the restart.

When the green flag flew, Overton took off and had built up a one second lead over McDowell with five laps to go. It was also on lap 35 that Overton encountered heavy lapped traffic, and McDowell began to close the gap on the leader.

At the rate of four-tenths of a second a lap, McDowell erased Overton’s lead. With Overton desperately trying to maneuver through lapped traffic, it was McDowell that found the open door to take the lead on lap 38. McDowell led the final three laps to the checkered flag with a .721 second margin of victory.

The next event on the 2017 ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series South East Region schedule will be on May 13 at Clary’s Motor Speedway in Brinkleyville, North Carolina.
