Jonathan Cornell Leads It All At U.S. 36 Raceway With ASCS Warrior Region

CAMERON, Mo. (July 28, 2017) Holding off Wayne Johnson on both attempts at a green flag, Jonathan Cornell picked up his 34th career win with the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awning, and Wraps with a flag to flag victory at U.S. 36 Raceway.

While Cornell pulled to a half straightaway lead, the race for second was almost non-stop between Wayne Johnson, Danny Lasoski, and Jordan Boston. Battling back and forth with Lasoski, Boston would relinquish the show position in traffic with Lasoski working the low-side the U.S. 36 Raceway.

Stalking the No. 2c to the final laps, Lasoski would end up getting the last lap pass for the runner-up spot while Jonathan Cornell went unchallenged to the win. Johnson in third was trailed by Jordan Boston with Miles Paulus fifth.

Blake Hahn sixth was followed by J.R. Topper and Brian Beebe to round out the field. Danny Thoman drew in but was not able to start following a flip in Hot Laps. A Heat and Qualifier were run with Jonathan Cornell and Miles Paulus pocketing $250 for their wins.

The Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awning, and Wraps races again on August 18 with the series returning to U.S. 36 Raceway.

Traffic Plays Well For Carney With ASCS Southwest In New Mexico

 

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (July 28, 2017) Picking up his sixth victory of the 2017 season, El Paso's John Carney II piloted the MVT/Lubbock Wrecker Service No. 11x to a $2,500 payday to open up the Summer Sizzle at the Southern New Mexico Speedway with the ASCS Southwest Region.

Through several opening race cautions, each restart saw Carney moving forward with the No. 11x up to third from eighth by the second lap.

Chasing Wes Wofford throughout Friday's feature event, the leaders raced into traffic with 16 laps to go. Caution again as the No. 11x lineup for the pass, the pair would again have to race into traffic before the chance to win presented itself.

Rolling into traffic once more with ten laps to run, Caney peddled the bottom through the third and fourth turn as Wofford lost momentum racing around the back markers, Carney was even with the No. 19 entering three, only to pull away off turn four on Lap 17.

From there, John went unchallenged with Royal Jones also taking advantage of slower traffic to grab second in the MVT No. 131. Kyle McCutcheon worked to third after starting 11th with 10th starting Derek DeMartino fourth. Wes Wofford would end up slipping back to finish fifth. James Mosher, Rick Ziehl, Colt Treharn, Robert Herrera, and Josh Shipley made up the top-ten.

The ASCS Southwest Region goes for another $2,500 payout on Saturday, July 29 with the conclusion of the Summer Sizzle at the Southern New Mexico Speedway.
