Greenville, MS – 5/29/11 – Tim Crawley from Benton, Arkansas raced the #88 Ward Racing, Lucas Oil and Boatersports sponsored winged sprint car to his second United Sprint Car Series presented by Goodyear Speedweek 2011 win in two nights at what has to be one of his favorite tracks on Sunday night at Greenville Speedway. Crawley charged past K&N Filters Pole Position starter Derek Hagar into the lead on lap three and led the rest of the race to the www.RockAuto.com victory lane for the third night in a row in USCS holiday weekend competition. Crawley survived four cautions plus a red flag incident on lap ten for Derek Hagar’s rollover.
Cody Gardner from Little Rock, Arkansas charged from a twelfth place starting position to the runner-up spot at the finish in the 30-lap main event. Defending series Champion, Terry Gray from Bartlett, Tennessee crossed the line in third place followed by 2008 USCS Rookie of the Year, Anthony Nicholson from Bartlett, Tennessee and USCS Rookie of the Year contender, Jordan Mallett from Greenbriar, Arkansas rounded out the top five.
The series moves north into Tennessee to Clayhill Motorsports in Atwood, TN for Memorial Day Monday night’s Speedweek 2011 Round #3 at 6pm.
