Southern Nationals Powered by Mello Yello Comp winner Van Puckett
Van Puckett claimed his second career Comp win and his first since the 2011 season after Brian Browell fouled in the final round by eight-thousandths. Puckett, whose G/AA Cavalier was one of just three full-bodied cars in a field dominated by dragsters, slashed .09-second off his index during his early wins against Al Ackerman, Pat Ross, and reigning world champion David Rampy.
