Dale McDowell led all 53 laps en route to a home state win in Sunday night’s Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals Series dirt Super Late Model feature at Georgia’s Rome Speedway.

The Chickamauga, Georgia speedster captured his second ever series victory, making him the only repeat winner in the series in 2016, having scored a win in the series opener two weeks ago at Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Virginia.

The win at the Northwest Georgia half-mile also meant a $5,300 payday.

McDowell led an all Georgia sweep of the top three spots, as Woodstock, Georgia’s Frank Ingram finished in second, with Toccoa, Georgia’s Casey Roberts in third. Vic Hill broke up the Peach State rout with a fourth place finish, while Dawsonville, Georgia’s Donald McIntosh finished in fifth.

Ricky Weiss-Headingly, Luther Jenkins, Jason Croft, Tyler Millwood and Shanon Buckingham rounded out the top ten.
