Brandon Overton notches runner-up finish at Smoky Mountain

With the weekend opener at Wythe Raceway (Rural Retreat, Va.) getting nixed by Mother Nature, Brandon Overton followed the Schaeffer’s Spring Nationals to Smoky Mountain Speedway (Maryville, Tenn.) on Saturday afternoon for the Spring Shootout. In a field of 27 cars, Overton secured his spot into the $10,053-to-win A-Main with an eight-lap heat race victory. With polesitter Jimmy Owens setting the pace early, Brandon closed in on the leader amid lapped-traffic but was unable to close the distance, marking him second on the rundown when the checkered flag flew. He trailed Owens across the line with Dale McDowell, Mike Marlar, and Donald McIntosh rounding out the Top-5. (Michael Moats photo)
