What won the race: Polesitter Adam Beeler of Knoxville, Tenn., got the jump on Friday's winner Jimmy Elliott of Cleveland, Tenn., and led all 50 laps of the caution-plagued main event to pocket $3,000.

Quotable: “These NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series races are hard to win,” Beeler said. “We’ve been fast qualifier a couple of times and led a few races, but we could never put it all together to win one of these races, so it feels really good to finally do it.”

Key notes: Elliott faded from second to finish fourth Saturday. ... The 50-lap feature took one hour and one minute to complete; the start of the race was marred by an extensive red flag. ... The three fastest qualifiers in each group were locked in the main event, with remaining drivers securing starting spots via consolation races. ... Hometown driver Ryan King's car carried a tribute to mentor Scott Sexton, the late Pigeon Forge, Tenn., driver.

On the move: Veteran Ronnie Johnson of Chattanooga, Tenn., advanced from 10th and overtook Jared Hawkins of Fairmont, W.Va, late to earn runner-up honors.

Winner's sponsors: Beeler's CVR Race Car is sponsored by HVH, AR Bodies and Matlock Decal Company.

Points chase: Series points leader Walker Arthur of Forest, Va., finished sixth.
