Kenny Collins Hits Paydirt In Red Clay 602 Late Model Feature Saturday At Senoia

Story By: RYAN DELPH / RED CLAY 602 LATE MODEL SERIES – SENOIA, GA – The 2025 season opener for the Schaeffer’s Oil by Mike Bruner Red Clay 602 Late Model Series took place on Saturday night, March 1 at Senoia Raceway and it was Kenny Collins, of Colbert, Georgia, claiming the feature victory.

By virtue of posting the fourth quickest lap overall during the 602 Late Model qualifying session at the historic Senoia, Georgia oval, Kenny rolled off from the outside of the second row in the 30-lap main event.

Kenny then worked his way past early leader Marty Massey on the third circuit and led the rest of the way to collect the $2,500 first place prize money.

Polesitter Taylor Cole fell back a few spots, but ultimately worked his way back up to the second position to finish a strong runner-up. Marty Massey, who paced the field for the first two laps, rounded out the podium in third. Austin Horton improved three positions to come home fourth, while Cass Fowler did the same to record a fifth place performance in the Red Clay 602 Late Model Series lid lifter.

Kenny Collins drove a #00 Barry Wright ICON machine with sponsorship in part from Phoenix Roofing Systems, Fox Diesel Services, Southeast Misc. Erectors, Perdue’s Paint & Body, Willco Company, Georgia Sprinkler, Devine Towing & Recovery, Superior Electrical Solutions, Scott Ray Excavating, BSN Sports, Pulatty Farms, Collins Signs, Boswell Oil, and VP Racing Fuels.

A total of 28 competitors signed into the pit area on Saturday at Senoia Raceway. The track opted to start each entrant and the starting grid was set solely through Knowles Race Parts and Bodies qualifying. Taylor Cole, of Cartersville, Georgia, toured the gray gumbo fastest in time trials with his quick lap of 16.288 seconds.

The 30-lapper was slowed by a trio of yellow flags. The first caution flag flew on lap 19 when Ryan Clay went spinning in turn one. Another stoppage in the racing action occurred on lap 25 when Ryan Clay and Jamie Godbee got the worst end of a multi-car incident. The final yellow of the night came on lap 28 when Nickelos Stiles went for a spin and collected Kevin Fisher. Nineteen drivers completed all thirty circuits.

Next up for the Schaeffer’s Oil by Mike Bruner Red Clay 602 Late Model Series will be a visit to Lavonia Speedway on Saturday evening, March 22. The 602 Late Models will vie for a $2,000 payday at the Lavonia, Georgia facility.
