Prepares for Senoia Raceway on Saturday

NEWNAN, Ga. (05/13/20) – Austin Horton capitalized on a last-minute decision to race at West Georgia Speedway (Whitesburg, Ga.) on Saturday night, earning his first win of the 2020 season.

In just his second start this season amid the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Horton piloted his Orr’s Trucking No. 16 Super K Express/ Horton Flyer/ Bobby Thomas Racing Engines Limited Late Model to a dominating victory.

“It was great to finally get back to racing this weekend, and to come out with a win makes it even better.” Horton said. “Our ole hot rod was great. Thanks to Austin Guiler, Mark Taylor, Clint Thompson, and everyone that came out to support us.”

Despite his late arrival, Horton topped the speed charts in qualifying to earn the pole position for night’s main event. Austin took the point at the drop of the green flag and never looked back, leading every lap en route to his first win of the season.

Earlier in the weekend, Horton made the trip to Senoia (Ga.) Raceway for the DirtonDirt.com Shootout. The Thursday night special drew a stout field of 43 entries to chase a $5,000 top prize.

Austin followed up the eighth-fastest time in his qualifying group with a seventh place finish his heat race. After having to utilize a provisional to start the 40-lap A-Main, Horton mounted a charge through the field, advancing 15 positions to finish ninth.
