What won the race: Polesitter Jason Hiett of Oxford, Ala., raced to victory in the 42-lap B.J. Parker Memorial at Talladega Short Track, earning $4,200. Hiett topped Dallas Cooper and Tim Roszell in the Southern All Star Series event.
Quotable: "I kinda knew if I stayed around that lapped car, there really wasn't no where for (runner-up Dallas Cooper) to go but to run over me and I know Dallas pretty good and he don't race like that," said Hiett. "I just kinda held my own and didn't want to push my luck there."
Key notes: Each of Hiett's two SAS triumphs have come at TST; he also won at the track during NASCAR weekend in April 2016. ...
