Ultimate Super Late Model SeriesJonathan Davenport outran defending race winner Scott Bloomquist, defending series Champion Casey Roberts and a stellar field of drivers Sunday afternoon to claim the $10,000 Cherokee Speedway March Madness title. Davenport quickly grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag over the series rookie Chip Brindle and set a blistering pace until a caution at halfway bunched the field back up. Casey Roberts took advantage of a lap 31 restart to briefly grab the lead over Davenport. Just 3 laps later, race leader Casey Roberts took advantage of the usually dominate inside row forcing Davenport to take the outside lane for the restart. This would prove costly as Davenport found the outside groove to be the fast way around the speedway. Scott Bloomquist piloted his self-designed car from his 7th place starting position to finish 2nd behind Davenport by utilizing the traction on the high side.

The early story of the night was the Shell Racing Solutions Fast Time Award winner Chip Brindle. Brindle set fast time in only his third ever behind the wheel of a Super Late Model powered late model. He would go on to finish 4th and is only 2 points from the series points lead after the first 2 events. Several drovers who expected to do well in the event suffered mechanical issues (Madden, Smith, Ivey, Bailes). The race was delayed when the speedway made the call to rework and water the track before the main event. 5th place finisher Chris Ferguson agreed that the track made the right call to water the speedway before the main event, “It really brought in a second groove for us to race on.”
