Casey Roberts has CAPITAL
Victory while Taming Tri-County for Tarheel Win!
Casey
Roberts of Toccoa, Georgia inherited the lead from Don O’Neal
on lap 23 and never looked back en route to a $3,500 win at
the Tri-County Race Track in Brasstown, NC on Thursday Night
October 6th during the Eighth Annual Ray Cook promoted Tarheel
53 event.
Roberts drove his Cushman Paint and Body sponsored entry to
the $3,500 win. Roberts was debuting a new Capital Race Car
prepared by Marshall Green and company. This was the first outing
and it turned into a win for the # 101. ‘We were tickled
to death with our new car’ stated Roberts in Victory Lane
afterwards. Roberts talked about his win at Tri-County: ‘We
had a really good race there, we really like racing with Jonathan
(Davenport) and the caution came out there and saved us, it
was just our night to win I guess’ stated Roberts who
was all smiles in Victory Lane with his crew and family.
Fast Qualifier Don O’Neal and Ross Bailes brought the
field of 20 to the green flag for the start of the 53-lapper.
O’Neal jumped to the early lead with Bailes and Shawn
