Brandon Overton adds two-win weekend; Prepping for Dirt Late Model Dream
Series point leader Brandon Overton returned with the Hunt the Front Super Dirt Series on Friday as the tour kicked off a doubleheader weekend at Swainsboro Raceway (Swainsboro, Ga.).
With 31 Super Late Models entered, Brandon claimed the overall fast time honors and the pole for the feature with a blistering 15.130-second lap in time trials. Stealing the lead from Ashton Winger on the seventh circuit, Overton controlled the remainder of the 30-lap opener to secure his fifth win of the season and the $5,000 top prize.
With the field inflated to 35 cars on Saturday, Overton stormed into the $20,000-to-win Southern Showcase finale with an uncontested, flag-to-flag victory in his eight-lap heat race. Lined up second, Brandon settled with a fourth-place finish in the 60-lapper after challenging eventual race-winner Dalton Cook for the majority of the race.
On Sunday, Brandon joined the Coltman Farms Southern All Star Series at Cochran Motor Speedway (Cochran, Ga.) for the Georgia Rumble. Starting the feature in third via his time trial effort, Overton overtook Wil Herrington following an early restart and went onto pick up his second win of the weekend.
He pocketed the $7,500 winner’s payday ahead of Dalton Cook, Sam Seawright, Herrington, and Jadon Frame.
