Big
winners on Senoia track By
MICHAEL BOYLAN Newnan's Gabriel Corbitt collected an additional $300 Saturday night in the Alan Vigil Southlake Ford 50 when he won his second race of the season with 27 laps remaining. Corbitt cashed in on the bounty put up by Senoia Speedway management for being the first driver to upset Mark Mitchell, who has won the last three weeks of Late Model features. The caution-free feature finished with Mitchell in second. Fayetteville's Sean Cieutat finished third from his pole starting position, while McDonough's John Beach was fourth with fifth place going to Senoia's Chad Caldwell. Andy Cash of Brooks led the Sportsman division from start to finish with Jake Wallace in second ahead of Newnan's Steve Payton in third. Robby Gober took the lead from his last-place starting position in the Street Stocks division and was later disqualified for having an illegal right rear tire, giving the win to arch rival Griffin's Jason Turner. The rest of the official finish was Senoia's Mark Lore in second, Hampton's Sammy Barge third, Senoia's Mike Crowley fourth, and Senoia's Ted Willingham rounding out the top five. In Pro and Semi-Pro, Lovejoy's Doug Stevens led from start to finish, with Shane Upchurch finishing second, and Marc Mitchell finishing third. David Regan held on to finish fourth with Newnan's Oliver Gentry rounding out the top five finishers. Senoia's rookie driver Nick Hill recorded his first ever win in a Legends race Saturday night at Senoia Speedway when he led from the drop of the green to the flying of the checkers in the Young Lions/Chargers division. Fellow Senoia driver Scott Tinsley was second with Joey Boyer, Hollis Sams, Andy James rounded out the top five respectively.
