EASTABOGA, Ala. – Mark Smith completed a weekend sweep of the USCS Fall Brawl at the Talladega Short Track on Sunday night.

It was Smith’s 11th USCS win of the season.

Johnny Bridges, who started the 25-lap contest from the pole, finished in the runner-up spot. He chased Smith from close range the entire distance.

Several cautions and a red flag incident after Jim Shuster did an easy rollover after making contact with Ronny Howard after he spun slowed the action. These incidents brought Bridges and Smith’s teammate, Dale Howard, back up on Smith’s rear bumper.

Each time Smith would stretch his lead just enough to avoid a serious threat to his eventual arrival in victory lane.

Howard finished third, followed by Danny Smith and Mallie Shuster.

The finish:

Mark Smith, Johnny Bridges, Dale Howard, Danny Smith, Mallie Shuster, Connor Leoffler, Ryan Harrison, Landon Britt, Kyle Amerson, Terry Gray, Danny Sams, Justin Barger, Morgan Turpen, Shelby Brown, R.J. Jacobs, Gregg Jones, Tanner Witherspoon, Jeff Willingham, Tony Agin, Ronny Howard, Jim Shuster, Michael Miller.
