SPRING CITY, TN – Jesse Lowe of Crossville, TN drove the C&C Auto Mastersbilt to a clean sweep victory on Saturday night in the 25-lap Late Model Feature Race at Mountain View Raceway.

”What a night!,” Lowe wrote on his Facebook page. “Finally got Harley Maginness and Rusty Caraway a win in Limiteds (Late Model)!!! These guys literally have Nothing Special besides HEART that is put into this car! To bring them home a win is something I’ll ALWAYS cherish.
If anyone is looking for a family to sponsor, they deserve it!“
Lowe has had several occasions when he was in a position to win races, but had wrecks not of his own doing or mechanical issues put him out of the race. Lowe took the checkered flag in heavy lapped traffic with defending and three-time track champion Barry Goodman of Spring City, TN, Colton Profitt of Crossville, TN, and Kelby Norwood of Etowah, TN on his back bumper.

Lowe took the lead at the drop of the green flag and led all 25 laps for the victory. Goodman did make it a challenge by staying right with the leader bidding for the point throughout the race.
Jeremy Shannon of Wartburg, TN won the 20-lap Sportsman Main Event driving the Shannon Racing Special. Lowe finished second in the Hogan Racing Mastersbilt with third going to Brandon Stanfield of Soddy Daisy, TN driving the Frizzell Excavating Mastersbilt.
