PHENIX CITY, AL (September 27) - The Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series made its second trip of the season to the East Alabama Motor Speedway Phenix City, AL., and two Southern All Star champions took the wins in the pair of 40 lap $4,000 to win events at the 37th Alabama State Championships.

In Saturday night action Weaver of Crossville, TN., set fast time in White Performance qualifying and set the pace early in the race as he built a lead over the rest of the field with Madden, Austin Smith, Clint Smith and Dylan Ames all battling it out for the second spot.  These four  drivers all ran in the second spot at one time or another during the race with Madden falling back as far as fourth, but then got back to the second spot and worked his way back to Weaver as he encountered lapped traffic. Madden caught and then passed Weaver on the outside and then went on to get his 46th career win with the series, Weaver finished second, with Riley Hickman of Ooltewah, TN., working his way into a third place finish from his 19th starting spot.  Fourth went to Austin Smith and fifth was Clint Smith in his first run with the series this season.

Finishing in the sixth spot was Dylan Ames, seventh place went to Michael Page, eighth to Joe Armistead, ninth to Jason Hiett and tenth to Brian Reese back with his first series start since the Bama Bash.

Sunday action saw Weaver dominate as he set fast time in White Performance qualifying and  led all 40 laps to get his 31st career series win.  The battle behind Weaver was between Madden and Jason Hiett as these two swapped second back several times with Madden taking the second spot, third to Hiett, fourth went to Riley Hickman who again worked his magic and came from deep in the field for another top five finish in fourth and Dylan Ames topped his weekend with a fifth place finish.

Sixth place went to Clint Smith who came from deep in the field, seventh to outside pole sitter Jason Croft, eighth to Cody King in his first top ten with the series , ninth Joe Armistead and tenth to John Henderson.

After the Sunday race East Alabama Speedway officials put Weaver and Madden in two laps match race at the end to determine the Alabama State Champion as they were tied at the end of the day with one win each and Weaver came out on top and crowned the Alabama State Champion.
