Jason Solwold Triumphs In Fred Brownfield Classic Prelim

Bryan Hulbert - ELMA, Wash. (June 29, 2018) Capturing his fourth career victory with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by Sawblade.com, Washington's Jason Solwold parked the Northwest Team Excavating/Anderson Motorsports No. 18 to open the Fred Brownfield Classic at Grays Harbor Raceway.

"We had a rough weekend last weekend, so we're trying to rebound a little bit here," stated Solwold.

Battling early in slower traffic with Henry Van Dam, the pair traded slide jobs throughout the seventh lap with Solwold gaining the edge as Seth Bergman rolled into the mix as the caution flew for Wayne Johnson who spun rolling into the fourth turn.

"I got a little nervous because we were so good early. I got stuck behind a lapped car trying to pick my poison and ended up not being very good on the bottom, but we made it through. Tonight, was about track position. We had good draws all night, and I didn't draw that two I can tell you that," chucked Solwold of his second career Brownfield Classic prelim win.

"I've won on Friday night here, but I haven't won both nights yet so hopefully we can pull that off tomorrow night."

Caution on the restart for Jason Reed, the return of the green light saw Solwold steadily pull away from the No. 33v of Van Dam. Contending with Seth Bergman, the runner-up spot remained in the hands of the Enumclaw native until Lap 15 as the leaders worked into slower traffic. Diving the bottom of the third turn, Bergman slid into second and began running down Solwold.

Consistently keeping a pair of lapped cars between himself and the Corridor Electric No. 23, Seth finally got a clear shot with just under four laps to run. Able to pick up some time on Jason, it was not enough as Solwold crossed under the checkered flag with a 1.118-second advantage.

Seth Bergman's 38th career podium finish with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by Sawblade.com, the driver of the No. 23 has three straight podium appearances in just as many nights. Retaining the National Tour point's lead over Sam Hafertepe, Jr., the driver of the Hills Racing No. 15h rolled through the field from 11th to claim third for his 69th career trip to the podium.

Slipping in traffic back to fourth, Henry Van Dam held on for the final transfer into Saturday's A-Feature event. Finishing one spot shy, Chase Goetz completed the top-five. Garen Linder crossed sixth with Skylar Gee advancing to seventh after starting 15th. Matt Covington followed from 16th with Kyle Miller and Travis Rilat from 17th to complete Friday's top-ten.

The Fred Brownfield Classic resumes on Saturday, June 30 with gates opening at 5:30 P.M. and Opening Ceremonies at 7:00 P.M. (PDT). Tickets are $27 for adults with discounts for Youth, Senior, and Military. Kids six and under are free. Grays Harbor Raceway is located at 43 Elma McCleary Rd. on the Grays Harbor County Fairgrounds.
