Tennessee short tracker Gary Helton closes out the 2005 NASCAR Southeast
Series season with his third and final win in the series. All his wins
came in 2005, he won the last two races of the year in a row.

Two-time series champion Wayne Anderson returns to the tour to make his
only start of the 2005 season. Anderson finished 10th in what ultimately
turned out to be his last race in the series.

This was the last Southeast Series race at Alabama's Montgomery Motor
Speedway. Touring series stock cars did return in early 2006 though as
the USAR ProCup series added this track back onto its schedule.

Rookie of the Year Helton won the battle but not the war as Jeff Fultz
edged him and Jason Hogan to win the 2005 Southeast Series championship.
Fultz came into this race with the points lead and only needed to finish
15th or better to claim the crown no matter what his rivals did. That
scenario ended up playing out as Fultz' Chevy was sidelined late in the
race by battery issues but he still finished 15th to edge race winner
Helton and runner-up Hogan. Fultz beat Hogan for the title by just 12
points with Helton third 21 points back.

Jason Hogan was the fast qualifier.

First caution - 74 spun
Second caution - 92 spun turn 2
Third caution - 7 stalled backstretch
Fourth caution - 23 spun turn 4

84 sponsor - McDowell Construction

Pole speed - 91.963 mph by Jason Hogan
(Interesting aside, Dusty Williams and Hogan each won two poles in 2005,
tied for the most, but Hogan won the season pole award as Williams
refused to run alcoholic sponsorship decals)

JR Norris had a fantastic middle seven races of the year, never
finishing worse than fourth and winning three times...unfortunately for
Norris, there were also five other races in the year and he bookended
his season with two DNFs on the front end and three on the back. All of
them came very early on in the races, too, with engine issues befalling
him in the opening laps at both South Georgia and here at Montgomery.
Norris also wrecked solo at the Nashville Fairgrounds and finished
second-to-last in four of his five DNFs - and the other DNF forced him
to finish last. Despite the feast or famine year, Norris was still very
much in the title hunt until the end, as eventual champion Jeff Fultz
had starter issues at Montgomery that wound up being more elaborate than
the initial diagnosis of a dead battery. As alluded to above, the
worst-case scenario for Fultz nearly happened but he held on to take the
last year-long title in the series. Fultz ran just one of the four races
in 2006 before the dissolution of the series, a championship that
fittingly Norris won instead.
