Rhett Carter Streaks to Showdown in Savannah $5,000 Payday
$5,000-To-Win, Early Bird 50 Up Next at Needmore Speedway
Blackshear, Georgia (11/12/18) – Rhett Carter streaked to the $5,000 victory on Saturday night at Oglethorpe Speedway during the finale for the Showdown in Savannah. The victory came aboard Carter’s Continental Tire #44 Swamp Fox Insurance Agency/ XR1 Rocket Chassis / Wildcat Performance Engines Late Model and marked his seventh of the 2018 campaign.
“We had to start further back in the field than I would’ve liked in both features, but we showed a lot of speed in both races. In Saturday night’s big event I had a really good racecar and was able to get to the front in a hurry,†Carter noted. “There’s some big money races coming up in this area over the next few weeks, and it feels good to head into them with momentum in our corner.â€
On Friday night Rhett Carter visited Oglethorpe Speedway Park (Savannah, Georgia), competing in a field of 31 Crate Late Models for the opening round of the Showdown in the Savannah. After laying down the fourth-fastest time overall in qualifying, Carter scored a third-place finish in his heat race, which locked him into the opening night feature.
With Mother Nature postponing Friday’s A-Main to Saturday morning, Rhett improved 12 spots in the event to register a seventh-place finish.
Starting Saturday night’s feature in the ninth position, Rhett overtook the leader on lap 16 and held the top spot for the remaining 34 circuits to pick up his seventh win of the season and a $5,000 payday.
The victory also marked the 75th Late Model win of his young career.
“Thanks goes out to Brian Green and Kevin Lee for their hard work this weekend,†Carter continued. “We hung the door from my car in the pub to commemorate my 75th- career late model win. A lot of people have helped me along the way, and I greatly appreciate everyone that has been with me.
