Late charge lifts Overton to Winter Freeze XIV finale at Screven Motor Speedway
Swaying off the path of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series (LOLMDS) tour to compete with the Southern All Star Series, Brandon Overton and the Wells Motorsports team traveled to Screven Motor Speedway (Sylvania, Ga.) over the weekend for the two-day Winter Freeze XIV.
With 34 Late Models on the grounds on Friday, Overton claimed the overall fast time honors with a blistering 14.314-second lap in time trials aboard his Muscle Factory No. 76 Late Model. Starting on the pole for the $3,000-to-win prelim, Brandon dropped one spot in the 30-lap opener to finish second.
On Saturday, Brandon backed up the fastest lap in his time trial group with a second-place finish in his heat. Lined up fifth for the Winter Freeze XIV finale, Overton drove around pole-starting Garrett Smith on lap 34 and paced the remainder of the 50-lapper to secure his first win of the season and the $12,000 top prize. He finished 0.751-seconds ahead of Smith with Haiden Cowan rounding out the podium.
