David Hodges, Jr. is making a habit of parking his Outlaw Late Model in victory lane at Watermelon Capital Speedway in Cordele, GA.
Saturday night, the Valdosta, GA racer set fast time in qualifying for the 50 lap feature. The former track champion brought the field to the green flag with Stuart Dutton alongside.
The challenge for position started on lap 21 with David Murphy and Kyle McCallum doing battle early on for the fourth and fifth position. The fight continued until the lone caution of the event flew on lap twenty seven, when McCallum spun.
By virtue of the restart choose rule, McCallum was able to restart beside Murphy and the battle ensued between the two again until McCallum was able to secure the spot for good.
As the checkered flag fell, Hodges picked up his second win of the season with Billy Chancy in second, Michael Davidson in third, McCallum in fourth and Murphy rounding out the top five.
In other action, Cody Hale was gunning for his fifth win of the season in the Enduro feature in just his sixth start. As with his prior four starts, for it to happen, he would have to come from the back to the front. Michael Hutto and Benji Cromer led the field to green as the opening laps clicked off and Hale slowly starting to march his way to the front. When all was said and done for the Enduro crew, it was Hale picking up the win with Jimmy Nasworthy in second, Michael Hutto in third, Cromer in fourth and Justin Duckworth rounding out the top five.
The Mini Stocks rolled on the grid for their 15 lap event with team mates Anthony Bustamante and John Tullis securing the front row. Bustamante was able to get the lead early on and never look back. In the end, Bustamante was the winner with Brett Roberts in second, Tullis in third, James Pennington in fourth and Banks Perdue in fifth.
In the Bandolero Outlaw feature, which saw Taylor Jorgenson start alongside her brother Jenson. It all started out calm with Taylor escaping to an early lead with her brother fresh on her trail. As the field approached half way, business picked up as Jenson was able to make a move on his sister, resulting in several laps of side by side racing with what appeared to have two nervous parents looking on.
In the closing laps some paint was traded between the two siblings with Jenson edging out his sister Taylor for the win. Rounding out the field for the Bando Outlaws was Katelyn Weatherly in third, Mark Younginer in fourth and Jordan McCallum in fifth.
In the Bandolero Bandits feature, youngsters Connor Younginer and Lawson Ingold lead the field to the green in the fifteen lap race. Younginer and Ingold raced side by side in the early states until Younginer prevailed as the leader in the early stages. As the laps clicked by, the top four spots were all up for grabs between Younginer, Ingold, Chandler Smith and Zach Leonhardi.
The road to the front for Smith and Leonhardi was no cake walk, as both had to come from the back to battle in the front due to recent wins which had them starting in the back. When all was said and done, it was Younginer picking up his first win of 2012 with Smith in a close second, Ingold in third, Lee Hodges in fourth and Abby Marin in fifth.
The Go Kart feature was a fairly quiet and calm, as William Downs picked up the win, with Dylan Bailey, Kevin Rogers, Eric Simpson and Don Ross rounding out the top five.
The next race at Watermelon Capital Speedway will be on June 2, featuring the Tampa Bay Area Racing Association (TBARA) Sprint Cars, with their 800 horsepower, 140 mile per hour, ethanol burning wheelie popping action.
