A pair of Georgia racers took home top honors in Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series action in Alabama over the weekend.

Kenny Collins of Colbert, Georgia and Wil Herring of Hawkinsville, Georgia scored victories during the Alabama State Championship weekend at East Alabama Motor Speedway in Phenix City, Alabama.

On Saturday night, Kenny Collins bumped his way past JR Mosely off turn four on lap 28 to take the lead. From there, Collins led the rest of the way to score his first career series victory and a $4,000 payday.

Austin Horton followed in second, with Mosely in third, Cody Overton in fourth, and Sam Seawright in fifth.

On Sunday afternoon, Wil Herring took the early lad, and went on to record his first career SAS win and the $4,000 winner’s paycheck.

Overton closed in but couldn’t mount a challenge and settled for second. Collins, Jordy Nipper, and Mark Whitener rounded out the top five.

The Southern All Star Dirt Racing Series next travels to the Peach State for the Michael Head, Jr. Memorial at Georgia’s Senoia Raceway on Saturday, September 24. For more information, visit SASDirt.com.
