CONCORD, N.C. — Sentimental favorite Jimmy Blewett stepped into the No. 12 that was to be driven by Joey Payne and won the 50-lap SK-modified event Saturday night at the John Blewett III Memorial North-South Shootout at Concord Motorsport Park.
“I can’t thank the guys enough. This is the car my brother ran all year at Thompson and he couldn’t get a win in it. This one’s for you, bro,” Blewett said afterward.
Ted Christopher recovered from an early spin to finish second and Tommy Farrell III was third. Jeff Malave and Rob Janovic rounded out the top five.

Jimmy Blewett, Ted Christopher, Tommy Farrell III, Jeff Malave, Rob Janovic, Joe Lemay, Steven Reed, Donnie Fowler, Glenn Griswold, Rick Kluth, Sherri Hogan, Dave Flammia, Jr., Tony Hanbury, Patti Pruitt, Keith Rocco, Rob Summers, Jeff Ruddy, Dave Cranmer, Woody Pitkat, Doug Coby, Shaun Carrig, Richie Evans, Jr., Josh Steeves, Kerry Malone, Kenny Horton, J.R.
