landed in victory lane on Friday night, February 28 in the Schaeffer's
Oil Spring Nationals Series opener at Swainsboro Raceway in Swainsboro,
Georgia! Aboard his #44 machine for Team 22 Inc., Chris clicked
off the fastest lap in Group B during the qualifying session to
earn the outside of the front row for the start of the 40-lap
feature event. "Smokey" then led each and every circuit
at the Peach State venue to collect the $7,553 first place prize
money ahead of runner-up Wil Herrington, Trey Mills, Ethan Dotson,
and Dalton Cook!
A day later, the #44 team followed the Spring Nationals
tour to Senoia Raceway in Senoia, Georgia for a $10,053 to win
shootout on Saturday, March 1. Chris stopped the clock eleventh
quickest overall during time trials before placing a close second
in his heat race. With passing at a premium during the 53-lapper,
Chris ultimately slipped back a few spots to finish ninth at the
unfurling of the checkered flag. Full results from both Spring
