Milton, FL – February, 24, 2023 – Altoona Iowa’s Terry McCarl charged from his pole position start in to the USCS Victory Lane on Friday night to capture a career fifth USCS win at Southern Raceway. But, it wasn’t an easy task as hard charging Mark Smith from Sunbury, Pennsylvania, who started eighth, worked his way through, caution periods to challenge McCarl over the last 11 Laps of the contest even taking the lead several times during mid-lap.
The two raced wheel to wheel through lap traffic for most of those final 11 Laps while 22 cars finished the 25-lap contest.
McCarl raced past the checks with a one car length lead with Mark Smith in tow in the runner-up spot.
2021 USCS National Champion, Danny Smith from Chillicothe, Ohio followed the lead duo across in third place with Cherryville, North Carolina’s Lance Moss in fourth place. Ankeny, Iowa’s Chris Martin rounded out the top five.Media Results for 2/24/2023 at Southern Raceway – Milton, FL
