**Shae Paulo Dominates Charlotte Opener as Jamie McCarron Storms Back from 18th** Shae Paulo controlled the feature from start to finish at The Dirt Track at Charlotte, leading 35 laps and steering clear of the chaos that could've derailed him. But the real story belonged to Jamie McCarron, who started from 18th and threaded the needle all the way to the podium with a masterclass in racecraft — climbing 13 positions to finish fifth and claim hard charger honors. McCarron's charge was relentless. He won his consolation race and then made every pass count in the feature, picking off competitors systematically and never getting caught in traffic he couldn't escape. That's the kind of performance that defines a season-opening statement. David Flick stayed consistent throughout the night, winning his heat and running clean enough to grab the second spot on the podium. The field was tight enough that track position mattered, but not so tight that mistakes went unpunished. Kendrick Tiller and Zach J Miller rounded out the top five alongside Flick's second-place finish. Justen Stolz was the fastest qualifier by a tick but couldn't convert pole position into a feature win — he'll be hungry for Round 2.
