What won the race: Polesitter Michael Page of Douglasville, Ga., bested fourth-starting Casey Roberts of Toccoa, Ga., to earn a $5,000 payday in Dixie Speedway’s Short Track Spring Championship.
Quotable: "It's just good to be back where I race and grew up," Page said. "The car was real good. I found some things wrong the last couple of weeks and we've been struggling. You couldn't get anything better. It was a really good race car."
