Beaumont, TX — (March 14, 2014) — A long trip from Knoxville, Iowa paid off for Jon Agan who topped the Griffith Truck and Equipment Gulf South Region’s 2014 season opener at the one-third mile Golden Triangle Raceway Park.
Collecting $2,500, Agan started front row with Ohio’s Greg Wilson. Jumping to the point, Wilson led the first four circuits before surrendering the lead to Agan on Lap 5, falling to third ultimately as Seth Bergman raced by to claim second.
Sam Hafertepe, Jr. crossed fourth with Christopher Bell climbing from thirteenth to complete the top five. Josh Baughman cross sixth with Channin Tankersley seventh. Kevin Ramey clawed from eighteenth to eighth with Tony Bruce, Jr. in tow from seventeenth. Zane Lawrence rounded out the top ten.
Special thanks is due to track owner, Glen Johnson, who had to bring in temporary lighting to make the show possible after a recent storm created a short in the track’s lighting system that didn’t appear until the Friday program had begun.
The Griffith Truck and Equipment Gulf South Region is scheduled to compete on Saturday, March 15 at the Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas. For more information log onto http://www.royalpurpleraceway.com or http://www.ascsracing.com
