Crossville, Tenn. – May 21, 2016 – Donald McIntosh of Dawsonville, Ga. battled Mike Marlar of Winfield, Tenn. for most of the 50-lapper to claim his first-ever Southern Nationals Bonus Series victory in front of a packed grandstand at Crossville Speedway Saturday Night.

In winning Saturday’s race at Crossville, McIntosh became the 19th different winner in series history and has now won on all three family of series (Spring, Summer & Bonus) while he drove the Blount Motorsports, Massey Electric and Stowers CAT-sponsored Rocket Chassis with a Vic Hill Racing Engine under the hood of his # 7 race-car.

Three caution flags slowed the 50-lap main event. Robby Moses, who was running inside the top-five, came to a stop on the front-chute with mechanical issues on lap-19 then Jason Welshan slowed in turn four to bring out the yellow flag on lap 35. The final yellow came on lap-39 as Skylar Marlar spun around in turn three after contact with John Ownbey. Marlar would have to be pushed pit-side for the rest of the race after damage on his machine.

With the win, McIntosh now inherits the points lead (four points) from Cory Hedgec0ck heading into Tri-County next Monday Night.

The next Southern Nationals Bonus Series race will be on Monday Night May 30th at Tri-County Race Track in Brasstown, NC during the Sixth Annual Circuit World Memorial Day Championship race paying $4,000-to-win. The Old Man’s Garage Spring Nationals Series presented by Schaeffer’s Oil will finish their tour with a three-race Georgia swing May 27-29. The series will visit Boyd’s Speedway on Friday May 27th paying $4,000-to-win. The tour will visit Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, Ga. on Saturday May 28th paying $4,000-to-win and the series wraps up on Sunday May 29th at Rome Speedway in Rome, Ga. paying $6,000-to-win.
