Devin Dixon Rallies for Top-5 Finish in the Southern 100
Ocala, Florida (11/08/17) – It was an up-and-down weekend at the Southern 100 for Devin Dixon in the Big Frog Motorsports #58 Dave’s Towing/ XR1 Rocket Chassis Late Model. However, by the time that the final checkered flag dropped the Florida racer had registered a strong Top-5 finish.
“We were fast, when we unloaded, and had a real good qualifying lap,” Dixon said. “Unfortunately, we had a bad start in the heat race, and on a track where passing was difficult we ended up 4th, which pinned us deep in the feature starting grid. There’s no quit in this team though and we were able to turn it around into a great run and finish on Saturday.”
Devin Dixon traveled to Southern Raceway (Milton, Florida) on Friday night, piloting the Dave’s Towing #58 Crate Late Model in the preliminary round of the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series-sanctioned Southern 100.
With 34 Crate Late Models on hand for the two-day event in his home state, Dixon followed up the fastest time in his qualifying group with a fourth-place finish in his heat race.
Earning the 16th-starting position for the $10,000-to-win A-Main on Saturday evening, Devin overcame the rubbered-up track conditions and streaked through the field 12 spots to place fourth behind Kyle Bronson, Walker Arthur, and Travis Pennington with Mark Whitener finish 5th.
