Eddie Carrier, Jr. drove to his first career Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals Bonus Series victory at Florence Speedway in Union, Kentucky on Saturday night.
The Salt Rock, West Virginia driver claimed a $10,000 payday in the series first ever visit to Florence.
Dawsonville, Georgia’s Donald McIntosh would take the lead at the start of the 50-lap feature. By the third lap, he would have the advantage over Carrier, Jr., with Shanon Buckingham, Cody Mahoney, and Michael Chilton giving chase. Chilton would work past Mahoney for the fourth position on lap four, while seventh place starting Steve Casebolt would make his way into the top five on lap eight.
Meanwhile, McIntosh would begin the process of working lapped traffic on lap 12, as Casebolt challenged Chilton for the fourth position. The pair would duel side-by-side for the position until Casebolt claimed the spot on lap 16.
As the McIntosh continued to work traffic in close-quarters competition, Carrier, Jr. would close in the leader. However, disaster would strike McIntosh as he and a lapped car would make contact, sending McIntosh into the outside retaining wall at the entrance to turn one as the field began working lap 19. His night was finished.
Carrier, Jr. would assume the race lead, and Chilton would dive under Buckingham for the third position on lap 20, only to have Buckingham retake the spot two trips later on lap 22. As the field approached the halfway mark of the event, Mahoney suffered mechanical issues with his mount and would stop on the frontstretch on lap 25, his night over.
On the restart, Carrier, Jr. maintained the lead, with Chilton claiming the runner-up spot from Casebolt on lap 26. Eleventh place starting Jimmy Owens would flex some muscle at this point and take the fourth position from Buckingham on lap 29, while 17th place starter Jason Jameson went from seventh to fifth in a three-wide battle on lap 30.
As Carrier, Jr. continued to work out front, Jameson would close in on Jimmy Owens and the pair would duel for the fourth position before Jameson would take the spot on lap 36. As the field completed lap 40, Carrier, Jr. would start working lapped traffic, but the action would slow as a caution for debris in turn three on lap 41 slowed the field.
Carrier, Jr. would get a good restart and maintain the lead, while Jameson continued his charge toward the front as he would drive past Casebolt for third on lap 45. Two laps later, he took second from Chilton. Jameson would try to catch Carrier, Jr. in the waning laps, but would come 0.627 seconds of the win, with Carrier, Jr. seeing the checkered flag first.
Jameson, who finished the event on seven-cylinders, would settle for second, while Chilton would complete the podium finishers in third. Casebolt came home in fourth, with Zach Dohm in fifth.
Owens, Jackie Boggs, Hudson O’Neal, Buckingham, and Brandon Kinzer rounded out the top ten.
The next event for the Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals Bonus Series will be on Saturday, July 1 at Tennessee’s Tazewell Speedway.
