Donald McIntosh grabs Gobbler podium and two championships
By Ben Shelton (Dawsonville, GA) — Donald McIntosh accomplished several goals over the weekend. The pilot of the Blount Excavating #7 Stowers CAT/ Rocket Chassis/ Vic Hill Racing Engine Super Late Model not only claimed a podium finish in the annual Gobbler at Boyd’s Speedway, but he also clinched the Southern Nationals Bonus Series title and the overall Southern Nationals championship.
“I’m so proud of this team, we’ve had a phenomenal year,” said McIntosh. “To get a top three finish against this field of drivers is a big honor. “I can’t thank Larry Garner, Stowers Cat, Tennessee RV Super Center, Rocket Chassis, Vic Hill Racing Engines, and everyone enough who provides me with this amazing opportunity.”

Wrapping up the Southern Nationals Bonus Series season, Donald McIntosh traveled to Boyd’s Speedway (Ringgold, Georgia) on Friday night for the two-day, 28th annual Gobbler.
With 35 Super Late Models registered, McIntosh laid down a solid qualifying lap before winning his heat race to lock into Saturday night’s finale. Earning the pole position for the $10,000-to-win feature after the redraw, Donald led the first four laps of the 60-lapper before ultimately slipping back to a 3rd-place finish when the checkers flew. He trailed Brandon Overton and Chris Madden across the finish line with Dale McDowell and Jason Hiett completing the Top-5 finishers.
With his performance over the weekend, McIntosh clinched the $5,033 Southern Nationals Bonus Series title as well as the overall Southern Nationals championship, which was worth $5,000. The titles go with his Old Man’s Garage Spring Nationals championship that he won earlier this year. The three titles bring his championship take on the year to more than $16,000.
Donald will put a wrap on 2016 this weekend as he travels to 411 Motor Speedway (Seymour, Tennessee) to compete in the inaugural Leftover. He is looking to compete in both the $5,000-to-win Super Late Model event, and the $2,000-to-win Crate Late Model program. For more information on the event, please visit www.411MotorSpeedway.net .
