(May 17, 2013) The final points race of the inaugural 2013 Spring Nationals tour took place tonight at the Boyd's Speedway in Ringgold, Georgia. Sprinkles and light rain fell throughout the afternoon hours at the Chattanooga area facility, but a window of favorable weather allowed the thirty (30) cars in attendance to hot lap and qualify.

A make-up date of Friday, May 24 has been established and the show will start from scratch, which will allow any new entrants next week. After polling the series regulars, the majority chose to make tonight the final points race of the season, which means that next Friday's duel will be non-points. All drivers in attendance tonight received an equal 50 show-up points. Following eight completed points events and two rain-outs, Steve Casebolt, of Richmond, Indiana, is the 2013 Spring Nationals Champion followed by Billy Ogle, Jr., David Payne, Stacy Boles, and Michael Chilton to round out the top five!
