LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (July 25, 2020) In Victory Lane for the 10th time with the ASCS Frontier Region, Derek Hagar wheelied his way into Victory Lane at I-30 Speedway on Saturday night.

Chasing Cody Gardner from the start, the No. G6 held the point until Lap 17. Working through slower traffic with Hagar on his heels, the No. 9jr used the backmarkers as a pick through the first and second turns to take over the top spot.

Gardner would hold on for runner-up honors with Tennessee’s Howard Moore taking third. Tim Crawley was fourth with Ernie Ainsworth in fifth. Sixth went to Marshall Skinner with Jordon Mallett following after starting 14th. Following the No. 14 through the field, Brad Bowden ended up eighth from 15th. Zach Pringle crossed ninth with Chad Jones tenth.

Next for the ASCS Mid-South Region is Jackson Motor Speedway in Byram, Miss. on Saturday, August 1.
