Last Lap Glory Goes To Nicholson With ASCS Elite At Crowley's Ridge Raceway

Bryan Hulbert – PARAGOULD, Ark. (June 12, 2020) Trailing Justin Zimmerman for 19 laps, the final lap was full of fireworks for Anthony Nicholson as the Tennessee driver shot to the lead to score his first career victory with the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating at Crowley's Ridge Raceway.

The 30th winner in series history, the race looked to be well in hand for Justin Zimmerman until a caution resulted in a green, white, checkered finish. Glued to the bottom side of the speedway on the restart, Nicholson found a hole and shot for it as the field raced to the white flag.

With the No. 1 in hot pursuit, Zimmerman carried momentum to the cushion off the final turn but didn’t have enough to get back to the point in time.

James Mooney came up to third after starting seventh with Keith Martin and Kevin Hinkle completing the top five. Charging from 18th, Paul White made it up to sixth with Tim Crawley seventh. J.D. Fry, Mason Smith, and Stephen Smith made up the top ten.

The ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating races again on Saturday, June 13 at the famed I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Ark. Gates open at 5:00 P.M. with racing at 7:30 P.M. (CT). Other classes on the card include IMCA Modifieds, Super Stocks, Factory Stocks, and Mod Lites. Admission is $15 for adults, $1 for youth 6-12 with accompanied by a paid adult.
