What won the race: Cody Overton of Evans, Ga., claimed a $10,000 victory in Sunday night’s 75-lap Battlefield Blowout for 602 Crate Late Models at Cochran Motor Speedway. The race's sixth starter grabbed the lead from Caleb Gay on lap 21, turned back a mid-race threat from Daulton Wilson and beat Chaz Haskins to the finish line.
Key notes: Overton recorded his first five-figure triumph — blowing away his previous career-high first-place payoff of $2,000 — on the same night that his older and more well-known brother, Brandon Overton, raced to a $7,500 Ultimate Southeast Super Late Model Series victory at Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney, S.C. ... Cochran promoter Chris Martin scheduled the special event to benefit Crate Late Model regulars; drivers who have run national touring series Super Late Model races were not permitted to enter. ... Logan Palmer of Acworth, Ga., pocketed $2,000 for winning Sunday's 604 Crate Late Model feature.
Winner's sponsors: Overton’s Excel Chassis sports backing from Budweiser, P&G Land Clearing, S&S Farms, Earnhardt Technologies and Wells Motorsports.
