Austin Horton Scores First-Career Southern Nationals Win
Ultimate Series at Dixie Next on the Schedule
Newnan, Georgia (07/23/18) – Austin Horton registered another career first on Sunday night at Rome Speedway. The driver of the Vape’s Gone Wild #16 Wood Motorsports/ Orr’s Towing/ Super K Express/ XR1 Rocket Chassis by Clint Smith/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model scored the win in Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals event.
The victory marked his first-career series triumph and his first-ever win at Rome Speedway. It pushed his 2018-win tally to six.
“We went a little harder on tires than most guys, so I knew it was going to be late in the race before I could make my charge. There always seems to be a late-race caution here, and I was banking on it. Luckily that’s exactly what happened, and it all played into my hands,” Horton said. “I’ve been really wanting to get a win here (Rome Speedway) for a long-time so this means a lot. We brought the Crate Late Model too, but after getting the big win we decided to not even run that feature so that we could really enjoy our accomplishment.”
After losing Saturday’s program at Dixie Speedway (Woodstock, Georgia) to Mother Nature, Austin Horton invaded Rome Speedway (Rome, Georgia) on Sunday for the Schaeffer’s Oil Southern National Series sanctioned event.
Drawing 29 entries for the sixth stop of the tour, Horton secured his spot into the A-Main by registering the second fastest-time in his qualifying group behind Ivedent Lloyd Jr.
Rolling off third for the feature, Horton overtook Aaron Ridley, following a late-race caution on lap-47. Austin Horton drove away from the field to register his sixth win of the season and a $5,300 payday.
“I want to thank Mark Richards and Steve Baker at Rocket Chassis, along with Gary Winger with all of his shock and setup help,” Horton noted. “We’ve got an awesome team with a lot of awesome supporters, and this win is dedicated to all of them.”
Ridley, Ivedent Lloyd Jr., Casey Roberts, and Michael Page completed the Top-5 finishers in the 53-lap affair.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Roberts Rallies at Rome after Swainsboro Stumble
MARYVILLE, Tenn. (July 23) Casey Roberts finished fourth at Rome Speedway rebounding after finishing 12th the night before in the second of two Southern National races at Swainsboro Raceway.
At Rome Roberts started eighth and finished fourth.
“Moving up from eighth to finish fourth doesn’t sound like much, but when you have a really good field of cars it’s more than you think,” said David Bryant. Casey had a good qualifying run and ran a good race. It was our fifth top five in the first six Southern Nationals races and that speaks well for Casey and the BMS team.”
On Saturday night at Swainsboro things did not go as well with Roberts starting 18th and finishing 12th in the feature. With three laps to go Roberts was running in front of the leaders, the last car on the lead lap, when the right rear went flat.
“Casey drew a bad number. We were the first car out and you wanted to go out late like Overton,” said David Bryant. “Can’t put it all on Casey’s draw though as we just were not much good and that flat with three to go was a fitting end to a forgettable night.”
There are four races left in this years 10 race Southern Nationals Series and coming out of Rome Roberts and the BMS team has the series point lead. Tuesday night Boyd’s Speedway will host race seven, eight is at Crossville, nine at Smoky Mountain and the finale is at Tazewell on Saturday night.
“We have definitely made some strides and things are starting to fall into place. All we need to do is keep everything in perspective and keep on digging,” concluded Bryant.
Blount Motorsports enjoys sponsorship from Stowers (CAT) Machinery Corp., Blount Excavating, Massey Electric, Tennessee RV, Turner Hydraulics, Ole Ben Franklin Motors, Food City, and The Wine and Spirits Cellar.
