Kulhanek Triumphant With ASCS Gulf South In South Texas

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (August 19, 2017) Win No. 5 on the season with the Griffith Truck and Equipment ASCS Gulf South Region, Ray Allen Kulhanek further padded his point's lead with a win at South Texas Speedway on Saturday night.

Taking off from fourth, the lead was initially in the hands of John Pate. Pacing the first four laps around the quarter-mile oval, Kulhanek assumed the point from the No. 36 with every lap from there on under the command of the No. 21t.

Caution on Lap 7 for debris, and another on Lap 22 for the spun No. 17g of Casey Burkham, it was not enough to allow anyone the advantage over Kulhanek.

Coming from eighth, Tommy Bryant finished second with John Pate ending up third. Caleb Martin and Zane Lawrence made the top-five with Dustin Gates, Casey Burkham, Cody Stacy, Junior Jenkins, and Bruce Griffith, Jr. completing the top-ten.

Next for the Griffith Truck and Equipment ASCS Gulf South Region is the 2017 season championship at Battleground Speedway in Highlands, Texas. The event is being promoted by Bruce Griffith, Jr. on Saturday, September 2 and Sunday, September 3.

Ned Powers Prevails With ASCS Frontier At Sweetwater Speedway

 

ROCK SPRINGS, Wy. (August 19, 2017) It was a race to the very end with the Brodix ASCS Frontier Region to cap off the weekend at Sweetwater Speedway as South Dakota's Ned Powers collected his third victory of the 2017 season with white flag pass on Logan Forler for the win.

Starting to the right of the front row, Powers would gain the lead over Anthony Farnsworth to pace the first 12 revolutions. Surrendering the lead to the slide job from seventh starting Logan Forler, a late race caution would change the dynamic of the race as Powers worked the bottom of the Speedway. Finding rubber off the third and fourth turns, Powers gained control of the race on Lap 24.

Relegating Forler to second, the final podium step went to Colorado's Patrick Bourke with Anthony Farnsworth fourth and Lance Norick fifth.

From 15th, Utah's Chauncey Filler was sixth with Mindy McCord following from 16th to seventh. Jeremy McCune, who topped Friday's A-Main, was eighth with Willy Hernandez pulling to ninth from 17th. Shad Petersen rounded out the top-ten.

Up next, the Brodix ASCS Frontier Region will make their return to the Electric City Speedway for the Montana Round-up, happening September 1-3 in Great Falls, Mont. The event is co-sanctioned with the NSA Series and pays $1,500 to win each night.
