Billy Ogle, Jr. Claims Spring Nationals Series Victory at Smoky Mountain Speedway

by Chris Tilley
MARYVILLE, TENNESSEE (April 5) - Billy Ogle, Jr., of Knoxville, Tennessee, became the 12th different winner in series history, as he claimed the $6,000 first place prize during the Old Man's Garage Spring Nationals Series by Schaeffer's Oil stop at Smoky Mountain Speedway on Saturday evening, April 5.

Ogle took over the point after race-long leader Chris Madden had contact with a lapped car on the 16th circuit - causing him to spin and slam hard into the turn one wall. That put Ogle to the top spot and he capitalized by leading the remainder of the 50-lapper. Ogle drove to Victory Lane in the Blount Motorsports, Blount Excavating, Explosive Specialists, and Massey Electric-sponsored Vic Hill Racing Engines-powered #201 Rocket Chassis. Ogle became the third different winner this season in as many shows on the Spring Nationals tour.

Vic Hill, of Mosheim, Tennessee, who started from the outside of the front row, finished second in the Landair Transport and Pilot Travel Centers-sponsored, Vic Hill Racing Engines-powered, Warrior #1 racecar. Skip Arp, of Georgetown, Tennessee, charged his way from the 11th starting spot to finish third in the Stanley Best Heating & Air-sponsored #31 GRT machine.

A total of four yellow flags slowed the event. The first caution came on lap five when Chris Wilson slowed in turn four. The next yellow would come out on lap 16 for leader Chris Madden's hard contact with the wall in turn one. The lap-17 yellow would be for Tommy Kerr spinning in turn four after almost making contact with Casey Roberts, who was the car ahead of him trying to get slowed down on the bottom of the track. The fourth and final caution of the night would be on lap 35 when Cory Hedgecock slowed in turn three.

The Old Man's Garage Spring Nationals Series by Schaeffer's Oil will be back in action this Thursday night, April 10 at Tri-County Race Track in Brasstown, NC paying $4,000 to win.
