Freddie Carpenter celebrates his $5,000 victory at Atomic Speedway.
What won the race: In a late-race two-car breakaway, Freddie Carpenter of Parkersburg, W.Va., outran his son Tyler Carpenter to score a $5,000 victory in Atomic Speedway's unsanctioned Fall 50.
Quotable: “It was fast," the winner said of his Kryptonite house car. "I just kept it straight and smooth and it kept rolling."
Key notes: Two weeks earlier the father-son duo finished 1-2 in another late-season special with Freddie Carpenter winning the Sept. 28 Weekend on the Hill at Hilltop Speedway. ... Tyler Carpenter scrambled to get his Super Late Model ready for the event after planning to compete in a Crate Late Model event in West Virginia that was rained out. ... The top two finishers were more than a half-track ahead of third-place Delmas Conley as the checkers. ... R.J. Conley was running third when he pulled his smoking No. 71c to the infield, dropping fluid that triggered a turn-four scramble that knocked Jason Jameson out of the second spot. ... Two more Late Model events remaining on Atomic's 2019 calendar, with the season championship slated for Oct. 26.
Winner's sponsors: Carpenter’s Kryptonite Race Car is sponsored by Octane Race Products.
