– Medford, Oregon (July 16, 2012) Bixby, Oklahoma’s
Shane Stewart left little to the imagination in round three of the
2012 ASCS Northwest Speedweek.
Drawing the pole after winning his heat the Finley Farms No. 77f wired
the field at Medford, Oregon’s Southern Oregon Speedway. Surviving
five caution periods and a pair of red flags, one for fuel on lap 27,
Stewart was chased across the line by eighth starting Mitch Olson.
Dan Menne would finish where he started with Cole Wood climbing from
tenth to take fourth. Vern Wheeler, who race his way in through the
night’s second B-Feature would charge from eighteenth to round out the
top five. D.J. Netto, Jesse Whitney, John Michael Bunch, Roger
Crockett, and Travis Rilat completed the top ten.
