SYLVANIA, Ga. – Brandon Overton banked more than $20,000 for his victory in Saturday’s Winter Freeze super late model finale at Screven Motor Speedway.
Starting from the pole, Overton led every lap of the 60-lap feature, at least that’s what the scoring results will show.
In reality, Overton actually lost the lead in traffic to Ross Bailes on lap 49, but a timely caution reverted the field to the last lap completed and gave Overton the lead back.
When racing resumed Overton pulled clear of Bailes and led the remainder of the race, finishing more than 1.5 seconds clear of Bailes to pocket $20,010 for the victory. The win, combined with a $10,000 preliminary win on Friday at Screven, meant Overton earned more than $30,000 for two days of work.
Michael Page finished third, followed by Jason Covert and Dale McDowell.
The Winter Freeze event was unsanctioned this year after previously being sanctioned by the World of Outlaws Morton Buildings Late Model Series.
The finish:
Brandon Overton, Ross Bailes, Michael Page, Jason Covert, Dale McDowell, Casey Roberts, Brent Dixon, Kyle Hardy, Gregg Satterlee, Chris Ferguson, John Henderson, Cla Knight, Coleby Frye, Dustin Mitchell, Tyler Millwood, Ahnna Parkhurst, Greg Oakes, Tim Vance, Brian Connor, Jimmy Sharpe Jr., Johnny Pursley, Josh Bishop, J.R. Moseley, Trent Ivey.
