Chris Ferguson tames Cherokee Speedway
(Gaffney, SC) -- Chris Ferguson inherited the lead with 14 laps remaining to win the Ginger Owens Memorial March Madness Sunday afternoon at Cherokee Speedway. Freguson, who collected $20,000 for the win, took over the point when race long leader Mike Marlar pulled off with a flat tire.
Chris Madden and Brandon Overton got into each other out of turn four on one of the many lap 36 restarts which led to the two scuffling and exchanging words in the front straight pits in fron of the massive crowd in attendance.
Carson Ferguson was second and Caleb Gray wound up third in the Southern All Stars sanctioned event.
