Runner-up Finish to Owens in Spring Sizzler at 411

While Saturday’s Spring Sizzler at 411 Motor Speedway didn’t end in a win for Cory Hedgecock and his team, Hedgecock left happy with his runner-up finish to fellow Volunteer State driver Jimmy Owens. (Michael Moats photo)

“I think we had a car to win, but running second to the hottest driver in the country right now, I’ll take that any day,” said Hedgecock. “One of his guys signaled for him to move up and it took my line away and that gave him the faster line, too. I think we were going to be quick enough in one and two to get a run on him and maybe try to slide him in [turn] three.”

A stout field of 35 entries converged at the 3/8-mile oval. To start the night, Hedgecock drove his E-Z-GO No. 23 Valley Transport/ Budget Transmissions/ Rocket Chassis/ Eagle Racing Engine Super Late Model to the top of the charts in Time Trials before placing fourth in the Dash.

Starting the $5,000-to-win A-Main in fourth, Cory overtook Casey Roberts for second on lap six and drew close to Owens several times throughout the 40-lapper but was never able to pull alongside the eventual winner. Hedgecock maintained the second spot to the finish, with Josh Rice, Kent Robinson, and Roberts completing the Top-5.
