Race Notes: Consolation races were scrapped with rain moving into the area. The entire field was set solely on qualifying. Polesitter Vic Hill changed a right rear tire in the infield prior to the drop of the green flag and led the first four circuits. Tony Knowles then took command and led up until lap ten when he tangled on the backstretch with Chad Ogle, who he was trying to put a lap down. Chris Madden then assumed the top spot and held the point until he lost a right rear wheel on lap 43. The #44 team made repairs and the 2011 Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Champion was able to salvage a sixth place performance. Vic Hill was the benefactor of Madden’s misfortune, as he led the remaining eleven circuits of the race to score his second career series victory. Stacy Boles had a solid top five run going until a flat right rear tire sent him into the pit area on lap 46. The top five in series points were virtually locked into place before the finale and an awards ceremony was held in victory lane before the race program started at Tazewell. Chris Madden won his third Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series point title over Tony Knowles, Johnny Pursley, Jr., Donald Bradsher, and Brian Reese.
