JACKSON, Minn. — Carson Macedo was not going to be denied on Saturday night during the 44th annual AGCO Jackson Nationals hosted by Jackson Motorplex. The margin of victory was 2.757 seconds and only four drivers finished within 10 seconds of Macedo. The duo swapped the lead twice on lap 16 with Allen officially staying in front as they crossed the line, but Macedo took the top spot for good on the ensuing lap. Allen stayed close and pulled even with Macedo on lap 20 before Macedo pulled away during the final dozen laps. “I felt like the bottom on the start of the race was good down in one and two,” he said after leading the first 16 laps. I felt my pace was really good, but I just lost the race. Jon Lewerer, who led the first lap of the race, rounded out the podium.
