Kicking off Labor Day weekend with a "W" in the win column is a big deal and Friday night Todd Morrow of East Ridge did just that, picking up the $2,500 payday for the "Blue Collar Nationals" at the Crossville Speedway.

Starting fourth, the "Blonde Bomber" took about one-third of the event to work past Cory Hedgecock and local standout Brandon Williams. Once out front it was all clean, mean and green for the # T1 "A-Plus Collision, Allen's Pools, Johnston Enterprises, A&K Transport, Mollie & Bobbie Boutique, KC Graphics" sponsored Rick Coulter Platinum chassied Phantom Race Engines powered driver.

Behind Morrow at the checkers were Williams, Caleb Ashby of Cunningham, Tn., Georgian Donald McIntosh and Kentucky's Terry English.

Morrow and his www.ToddMorrowRacing.com raceteam head toward Middle Tennessee for Saturday's Southern All-Star Racing series event in Summertown before Sunday's "Blue Collar" finale at Duck River Speedway in Shelbyville.

Friday in the Crate Late Model special event Morrow raced to a seventh-place finish won by local racer Jesse Lowe.
