MILTON, Fla. — Terry McCarl charged from his pole position start in to USCS Victory Lane on Friday night to capture a career fifth USCS victory at Southern Raceway.
It wasn’t an easy task as hard-charging Mark Smith, who started eighth, worked his way through several caution periods to challenge McCarl over the last 11 laps of the contest even taking the lead several times during mid-lap.
The two raced wheel to wheel through lap traffic for most of those final 11 laps, while 22 cars finished the 25-lap contest.
McCarl raced past the checkered flag with a one car length lead with Mark Smith in tow in the runner-up spot.
2021 USCS champion Danny Smith followed the lead duo across in third place, with Lance Moss and Chris Martin rounding out the top five.
The finish:
Feature (25 laps): 1. 24-Terry McCarl[1]; 2. 43-Mark Smith[8]; 3. 66-Danny Smith[5]; 4. 23-Lance Moss[2]; 5. 44-Chris Martin[10]; 6. 28F-Davie Franek[4]; 7. 14-Jordon Mallett[12]; 8. 12-Corbin Gurley[11]; 9. 938-Bradley Fezard[9]; 10. 21-Gavan Boschele[14]; 11. 22-Riley Goodno[13]; 12. 31-Casey Wills[6]; 13. 55B-Brandon Anderson[7]; 14. 21M-Adam Cruea[18]; 15. 10-Terry Gray[16]; 16. 88-Terry Easum[20]; 17. 32-Rusty Sanford[17]; 18. 7E-Eric Gunderson[23]; 19. 28-Jeff Willingham[15]; 20. 33-Joe Larkin[24]; 21. 4X-Scott Baldwin[19]; 22. 61-Sean Wimpey[21]; 23.
