Randy Weaver(116) had a fierce battle with race leader Chesley Dixon (3) and took the lead just before engine trouble put him out of the race. It was evident there could be something wrong when Weaver pulled off the track before the start of the race and returned with no hood. Dixon led at the end.  (Thomas Hendrickson)

SYLVANIA, Ga. - June 26. Chesley Dixon of Swainsboro, Ga. led all but one lap of a caution plagued feature at Screven Motor Speedway for his second career victory on the Southern All Stars Dirt Racing Series tour on Saturday. Dixon, who also won at Screven in 2007, had a fierce battle with defending series champion and eighth starting Randy Weaver of Crossville, Tenn., who lost an engine just one lap after wrestling the lead from Dixon. Dixon returned to the top spot and earned $5,000 in taking the checkers ahead of fast qualifier and current series point leader Scott Creel of Franklinton, La. and fifth starting Jordan Bland of Concord N.C. in a 50-lapper, slowed by nearly 20 yellow flags.
