The battle for the season points championship in the 2013-2014 Winter Flurry season went under the lights at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the seventh feature race of the season.
Madeline Crane of Meansville captured the Pro Division Winter Flurry championship with her finish in the combined Masters and Pro feature. Crane started from the pole in the combined Masters and Pro Feature and raced to the win.
Don Chandler of Macon added to his lead in the Masters Division as he posted his third feature win of the Winter Flurry series. Mark Swan of Dunwoody finished second and moved into second in the point standings while Don Maness of Duluth placed third.
Taylor Jorgensen of Stockbridge posted the best finish in the combined Semi-Pro and Young Lions feature and now leads the Semi-Pro Division slipping ahead of Aaron Bailey of Burlington, NC into the top spot with one race remaining.
Woodrow Mullis of Hoboken remains perfect in the Winter Flurry series with his seventh consecutive win in the Young Lions Division. Mullis now leads Zach Leonhardi of Cartersville by 21 points. Leonhardi finished second while Dylan Murry of Cumming earned third.
In the Bandits Bandolero feature, Lawson Ingold of Social Circle collected his first win of the Winter Flurry season.

Despite the second place finish, Smith added to his overall points lead in the Bandits division.
A tight battle for the top spot in the Outlaw Bandolero division was blown open by Ashton Winger of Fayetteville in the seventh feature race of Winter Flurry. Winger captured the checkered flag and extended his lead to 59 points over Jensen Jorgensen of Stockbridge. Jorgensen remains in second place after attempting to qualify for the race.
