Seth Bergman On Top With ASCS Red River at Red Dirt Raceway

Bryan Hulbert - MEEKER, Okla. (June 1, 2018) The debut of the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region presented by Smiley's Racing Products at Meeker, Oklahoma's Red Dirt Raceway was a thrilling one with Washington's Seth Bergman claiming Friday's $2,000 prize.

Bergman's seventh career win with the Red River Region, the No. 23 gave chase at the drop of the green as Sean McClelland darted into the lead. Running the low line of the quarter-mile oval, McClelland paced the field the first four laps before Seth overtook the No. 22 on the cushion.

Under some pressure as the leaders worked through traffic, cautions would allow Seth to pull away with the race's final restart on Lap 23 putting the No. 15h of Sam Hafertepe, Jr. runner-up in the lineup. Not able to advance to the point, Seth's win is his fourth in ASCS competition in 2018.

Sam Hafertepe, Jr. in second was joined on the podium by Sean McClelland. From ninth, Blake Hahn advanced to fourth with Alex Sewell making the top-five. Fred Mattox, Cameron Hagin, Lance Norick, Ace McCarthy, and Charles McManus completed the top-ten.

American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region presented by Smiley's Racing Products continues the weekend run at Tri-State Speedway in Pocola, Okla. on Saturday, June 2.

Kelly Miller Opens ASCS Frontier Season With Victory at Black Hills Speedway

Bryan Hulbert - RAPID CITY, S.D. (June 1, 2018) Opening the 2018 season at Black Hills Speedway, Canada's Kelly Miller raced to his third career victory with the Brodix ASCS Frontier Region. The third leader of Friday's 25 lap A-Feature, the No. 2jr of Miller raced to the point from the fourth starting spot.

Chasing Clint Anderson on the opening lap, the second revolution saw Eric Lutz in

control. Leading until Lap 17 as the track went under yellow flag conditions, a bobble on the restart was enough for Miller to pounce.

Setting the pace from Lap 18 on, Miller was joined on the podium by Eric Lutz and Clint Anderson. Coming from eighth, Montana's David Hoiness finished fourth with Wyoming's Blayne Brink following from ninth to make up the top-five.

Jess Beckett crossed sixth with 14th starting, T.J. Thorne in seventh. Adam Speckman from 13th was followed by Ben Holmberg from 15th with Idaho's James Setters rolling from 19th to complete the top-ten.
