Carson Ferguson recorded his first career Southern Nationals triumph on Thursday night at Georgia’s Senoia Raceway.
By virtue of clicking off the quickest time in qualifying, Carson started the 40-lap feature from the pole position. The Lincolnton, North Carolina ace took full advantage of that prime starting spot, as he grabbed the lead on the opening lap, and drove to the win and a $4,053 payday.
Ferguson was able to win by 1.474 seconds over runner-up Tyler Millwood, who closed to Ferguson’s rear quarter panel several times early in the contest. Will Roland followed in third, with Sam Seawright in fourth, and Wil Herrington in fifth.
“I really have to thank (Tyler) Millwood for racing me clean there,” Ferguson said. “I could hear him for the first half of that race. I felt like I was hitting my marks a little better and figuring out what to do, but I was a little tight on the bottom. I really have to thank the good Lord for giving us a good day, keeping the rain away, and keeping us all safe. Thanks to Schaeffer’s Oil for putting on a good series.”
Up next, the Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals Series heads for the historic East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, Alabama on Friday, July 22. For more information, visit SouthernNationalsSeries.com.
