COCHRAN, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – 11-year-old Parker Martin took home the checkered flag in Saturday’s Junior Enduro Race at Cochran Motor Speedway.

Montana Dudley of Phenix City, Alabama won the Late Model feature race and the $2,000 prize that went with it.

Tyler Sanders won Bomber, Joseph Brown won Sportsman, Kyle Conyer won Super Street and Jason Floyd won Pure Stock.
