What won the race: Jesse Lowe of Crossville, Tenn., topped Mack McCarter to earn $3,001 in Sunday's Melvin Corum Memorial on the United Championshipo Racing Alliance at Tazewell Speedway.

Quotable: “Man, it feels great to finally get a $3,000 win. We’ve been close in some other events, but we finally got the job done at Tazewell of all places,” Lowe said. “Honestly I got really lucky because as soon as I crossed the finish line the power steering belt broke and locked the wheel up, causing me to wreck. One more lap, and we would’ve been toast.”

The United Championship Racing Alliance made the first of two visits to Gary Hall’s Tazewell Speedway this season. … The race honored racer Melvin Corum of Maynardville, Tenn., who died in September. … The series returns Aug. 10.
