Hedgecock tops Iron-Man foes at 411 Motor Speedway

The win was the 13th of the year for Cory aboard his E-Z-GO No. 23 Green’s Recycling / I-75 Raceway / Black Diamond Race Car / Eagle Racing Engine Late Model.
“We started fifth and got to third on the first lap. After a couple sliders, some crossovers, and some good clean racing with Pierce (McCarter), I was able to get the lead around the halfway point and held on for another Iron-Man Late Model Series win. One more race this coming Saturday at I-75 (Raceway), and then we are done until the Hangover at 411 (Motor Speedway) on January 1.
“Thanks to Rusty and Brody with Littleton Motorsports for their help as well as everyone who supports this team.”
Cory Hedgecock made the short trip to 411 Motor Speedway (Seymour, Tenn.) on Saturday afternoon to wrap up the Valvoline Iron-Man Southern Series slate with the sixth annual The Leftover.
In a stout field of 40 cars, Hedgecock’s third-fastest qualifying lap in his group locked him into the fifth-starting position for the feature. After sliding ahead of early pacesetter Pierce McCarter at the halfway mark of the 40-lapper, Cory kept a charging Jensen Ford at bay in the closing laps to secure his 13th win of the 2021 campaign and a $5,000 prize. He finished ahead of Ford, Dustin Linville, Pierce McCarter, and Josh Rice.
