Mesquite, TX — (May 17, 2014) — The ASCS Lone Star and Sooner Regions squared off at the Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Saturday night with 32 drivers drawing in, and Sam Hafertepe, Jr. leading start to finish in the night’s $2,000 to win A-Feature.
Getting the jump over Alex Sewell, the track dictated every move as rubber set in on the bottom line. Alex Sewell held on for the runner up spot, despite several challenges by the No. 45x of Johnny Herrera who held on to the final podium step after several exchanges with Harli White.
John Carney II moved past the No. 17w in the closing laps, relegating White to a fifth place finish.
Tony Bruce, Jr. crossed sixth with Jeff Swindell advancing from fifteenth to claim seventh. Kolt Walker, Patrick Stasa, and Blake Hahn completed the top ten.
The Smiley’s Racing Products Lone Star Region resumes competition on Friday, June 13 at Timberline Speedway.
