Traffic Key To Brian Bell Victory In ASCS/NCRA Showdown At 81 Speedway

PARK CITY, Kan. (July 22, 2017) With traffic playing to his advantage, Tennessee's Brian Bell charged to his sixth victory of the 2017 racing season, and first with the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region presented by Smiley's Racing Products.

Also counting as Bell's first NCRA triumph, two attempts at the start saw the FSR Radiator No. 23b roll to the green fifth as Mike Goodman sailed the top side of the first and second turns to lead after restarting fourth.

Keeping all challenges at bay, and opening his advantage, the red flew on Lap 9 for John Carney II who tipped over the right front in turn two while running third. Moving to second on the restart, Bell was able to keep pace with the Young Tool Co. No. 11g as the pair were also joined by Alex Sewell, who had to come from 16th after being caught up in the race's first caution.

Into traffic with five laps to run, Goodman tried to pull to the middle groove of the third turn to advance around a slower car but found his tires spinning as Bell turned under the pair to grab the lead on Lap 21. With the top-spot in hand, Bell was unchallenged the remainder of the race as the checkered flag fell just before the thunderstorms closed in.

Alex Sewell ended up running back through the field to finish second with Jeremy Campbell edging out Mike Goodman on the final lap for the final podium step. Dou Droud, Jr. was fifth. From 10th, Danny Jennings was sixth with Andrew Deal, Jeff Stasa, Fred Mattox, and Forrest Sutherland making up the top-ten.
