EASTABOGA, Ala. — Brandon Overton paused as he sat on the door on his late model before climbing to the roof to celebrate a $50,000 victory at the Talladega Short Track Saturday night. “I saw real quick how mental [this sport] is,” Overton said. English led, but was given little breathing room with Overton, Bronson and Bobby Pierce keeping him in their crosshairs. And while Overton and Bronson argued over second, Pierce was on a charge, finding himself in fourth at that point after starting 14th. In doing so, he made quick work of getting by Bronson, Overton and English to steal the lead with 18 laps to go. At the checkered flag, Overton had a 2.6 second lead over English. I know [Overton] was probably doing the same thing and he was a little tight, too.
