Overton, Ivey Open Southern Nationals Season With Wins

Brandon Overton and Trent Ivey opened up the Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals Series 2019 season by scoring wins earlier this week.

Overton drove to the win on Saturday night at Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Virginia, with Ivey winning on Sunday night at Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney, South Carolina.  Overton then scored in race number three of the season on Tuesday night at Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tennessee.

Brandon Overton kicked off the Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals Series season with a victory at Wythe Raceway on Saturday night.

It marks the 11th career series win for the Evans, Georgia racer, who led all 53 laps en route to scoring the $10,000 payday.

Overton jumped to the early race lead, with Michael Brown, Vic Hill, Dale McDowell, and Ross Bailes giving chase. Overton would set a rapid pace out front and would start working slower traffic on lap seven and he pulled away from the field.

McDowell drove past Hill for third on lap 12 as the action would be slowed by a caution on lap 16 for Christian Hanger, who had rolled to a stop.

The restart saw Overton again pull away and by the time Cla Knight slowed in turn four to draw the caution flag on lap 38, only nine drivers remained on the lead lap.

The restart saw third-place running Donald McIntosh have a flat right-rear tire. He would pit and return to action.

The final halt to the action would come on lap 40 when Michael Page contacted the guardrail in turn one, damaging a section of the guardrail. That resulted in a red flag to allow track crews to repair the damage.

Back under green, Overton went on to lead the final laps to secure the win, with McDowell finishing second.

Kyle Hardy claimed the third position, with McIntosh in third and Tanner English in fifth.

Dennis Franklin, Jake Knowles, Benji Hicks, Brandon Kinzer and Anthony Sanders rounded out the top ten.

On Sunday night Trent Ivey drove to his first-ever Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals Series victory at Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney, South Carolina.

The win was worth $10,000 to the Union, South Carolina driver.

Ivey would took the lead at the start of the 53 lap feature, with Brandon Overton, Michael Brown, and Kyle Strickler, Donald McIntosh and Tanner English battling behind him.

Brown would take second from Overton on lap five and would pressure Ivey for the lead. Brown would grab the lead, only to see a caution negate the pass when Strickler slowed on the track in turn two. Another caution for debris on lap eight would also slow the action.

Back underway, Ivey and Brown resumed the battle for the lead. Brown looked to be set to move to the point when the caution waved again on lap 20 when Christian Hanger stopped in turn two. During the caution, Brown would pull into the pits and be done for the night. McIntosh would also pull into the pits from third, but would return to action.

Ivey controlled the restart, with Overton in pursuit from second. Lap 24 would see the next caution when Dennis Franklin slowed on the front stretch.

On the restart, English spun in turn two, with McIntosh, Doug Sanders, and Adam Yarbrough also tangling. The caution flew again on lap 36 when Cla Knight slowed in turn two, and again on lap 43 for an issue on Derrick Ramey’s car. One final caution would appear on lap 46 to set up a dash to the finish.

Ivey would pull away from Overton on the final restart, and drove away to the win. Overton finished in second, with Michael Page in third, Ross Bailes in fourth and Jake Knowles in fifth.

Strickler, Benji Hicks, Matthew Nance, McIntosh and Knight rounded out the top ten.
On Tuesday, it was Brandon Overton making his second visit of the week to victory lane with a win at Smoky Mountain Speedway.

Overton took the race lead on lap 22, and never looked back on his way to the win an a $3,500 payday.

The start of the race saw Michael Chilton grab the race lead, with Donald McIntosh, Dakotah Knuckles, Overton and Jake Knowles giving chase. The only caution of the race would appear on lap two for debris on the track in turn three.

Chilton held the lead on the restart, while Overton charged to third place. Chilton would begin to stretch, while Overton gradually closed on and challenged McIntosh for second. Overton would move around McIntosh on lap 17, and set his sights on the leader.

Four laps later, Overton caught Chilton, and on lap 22, he moved to the point. From there, Overton drove to his 12th career series victory. Chilton finished in third, with McIntosh in third, Ashton Winger in fourth and Knuckles in fifth.

Jake Knowles, Tommy Kerr, David Crabtree, Tanner English and Robby Moses rounded out the top ten.
