Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals at Cochran on Deck


Newnan, Georgia (03/19/19) – After a two-month break in action Austin Horton returned to the driver’s seat on Saturday night at Dixie Speedway, where he competed in the 50th Anniversary Southeastern Classic. The chauffer of the Vape’s Gone Wild #16 Wood Motorsports/ Orr’s Towing/ Super K Express/ XR1 Rocket Chassis by Clint Smith/ Clements Racing Engine Super Late Model raced to a third-place finish in the $5,000-to-win finale.

“We had a solid night,” Horton said. “There was a really tough field of racers at Dixie on Saturday night, and we were able to go toe-to-toe with them. Apart from running the Ice Bowl [where Austin finished third] we haven’t been racing any so far this year. We’ve been waiting to get all of our stuff freshened. We’re ready to go now, and I’m really pumped for this season.”

Saturday night saw Austin Horton making the short trip to Dixie Speedway (Woodstock, Georgia) for the 50th Anniversary Southeastern Classic. Drawing 23 Super Late Models for the unsanctioned event, Horton registered the fourth-fastest time in qualifying, which locked him into the fourth-starting position for the $5,000-to-win A-Main.

Improving one spot in the 50-lap affair, Austin registered a third-place finish behind Donald McIntosh and Shane Clanton with Tyler Millwood and Cla Knight completing the Top-5 finishers.
