OCALA, Fla. Devin Moran outdueled Jonathan Davenport to claim victory in the 50-lap Wieland Winter Nationals finale on Saturday night at Ocala Speedway after starting from the inside of the fourth row.

This event marked the largest payout in track history, with Moran taking home $25,000 for his third series win of the season.

Davenport crossed the line in second, followed by Ricky Thornton Jr., Brandon Overton and Garrett Alberson.

Davenport seemed to control the race until Moran went to the top side of turns one and two, successfully tracking down Davenport to take the race lead for good with about 12 laps remaining after the two had exchanged the lead several times. Moran had claimed the second position from Thornton following a caution at the halfway point and then aggressively pursued Davenport after the last caution occurred with 20 laps left.

Moran, in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 18th time in his career, came from the seventh starting spot to claim the win. It was Morans third career win at Ocala.

I just gassed on it. This is why we come to Florida for Speedweeks, Moran said. Everybody has been talking about this or that, and obviously, we arent at East Bay. We all love East Bay, but this is my favorite time of year. We just put on one hell of a show for the crowd here and everyone watching home.

Davenport, who led the most laps during the race, came home with his third runner-up finish during Speedweeks.

We I went with a soft tire there, and I think we were the only car in the field to do so, Davenport explained. I dont know if that played a role, but I probably wouldnt have gotten the lead without the soft tire. Devin did a great job; I knew it was going to be moving around. I just got slower and slower on the bottom, and I was kind of stuck there with that tire, so I couldnt really move around a lot. Once I moved all the way to the top, I was OK, but it was a long way around and pretty treacherous. What a cool race track to be that wide. It actually raced a lot better than I thought it would there.

Thornton, the defending series champion, rounded out the podium.

The the race track was awesome, Thornton said. Bubba told us he was going to get us to where we were running the wall, and I literally think I was on the wall. It was probably the best race track we had all week. In the end, I think I made the wrong tire call; we went hard, and the track didnt slow down as much as I needed it to. Congrats to Devin and JD; they each drove a great race. I almost wish I had in-car camera because it was pretty fun watching those two race it out out.

Devin Moran, Jonathan Davenport, Ricky Thornton Jr., Brandon Overton, Garrett Alberson, Drake Troutman, Hudson ONeal, Max Blair, Mark Whitener, Tanner English, Ross Robinson, Daniel Hilsabeck, Dennis Erb Jr., Clay Harris, Tyler Erb, Daulton Wilson, Brandon Sheppard, Brenden Smith, Dan Ebert, Donald McIntosh, Spencer Hughes, Jimmy Owens, Tim McCreadie, Carson Ferguson, Boom Briggs.
