Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals Double Header Up Next
LOUDON, Tenn. (07/27/21) – Cory Hedgecock enjoyed a successful weekend in his E-Z-GO No. 23 Green’s Recycling / I-75 Raceway / Black Diamond Race Car / Eagle Racing Engine Late Model.
Collecting over $3,500 for a pair of victories, Hedgecock first won on Friday night at Boyd’s Speedway before registering the $2,500 victory in United Championship Racing Association (UCRA) competition on Saturday night at I-75 Raceway.
“It was a solid weekend for our team and it was nice to add two more wins to the count. We were fast both nights. I hated to see Brandon (Williams) sidelined by issues late in the race at I-75 (Raceway) because we had a heck of a battle for the lead. I’ve definitely been in his shoes before, and that’s always a tough way to lose one, but we were in position to capitalize, and that’s what we did,” Hedgecock said. “We’re ready to return to Super Late Model action this weekend, and hopefully we can add another two wins to the books.”
Returning to action on Friday evening, Cory Hedgecock visited Boyd’s Speedway (Ringgold, Ga.) for a Weekly Racing Series Event. After topping Cruz Skinner in his heat race, Cory fended off Skinner in the 25-lap feature to record his fourth win of the season. He took the checkers ahead of Skinner, Matt Shannon, Josh Henry, and Booger Brooks to claim the $1,000 top prize.
For the United Championship Racing Alliance (UCRA) sanctioned program on Saturday evening at I-75 Raceway (Sweetwater, Tenn.), Cory secured his spot into the A-Main with a 10-lap heat race victory. Battling with Brandon Williams throughout the event for the lea, Hedgecock inherited the top spot with seven laps left when Williams was forced pitside with mechanical issues. Winning by more than a three-second margin over Zach Size, Hedgecock cruised to his fifth win of the season and second in as many nights. He pocketed $2,500 for his winning performance.
