Highlands, TX — (June 11, 2016) — Tip the scales of power, as Mississippi’s Michael Miller scored one for the Lucas Oil ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints on Saturday night at the Battleground Speedway; topping the second showdown of the season between the Lucas Oil ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints and the Griffith Truck and Equipment ASCS Gulf South Region presented by Southern Trailer Works.
Getting the pole in Saturday’s A-Feature, Miller took full advantage, but was not quick to get away and hide. Stalked throughout the race, the close laps looked like the advantage was about to swing to Channin Tankersley, but Miller was able to hold off the No. 14.
Channin settled for second with Michael McNeil third. Ray Allen Kulhanek and Tommy Bryant made up the top-five.
Caleb Martin was sixth, followed by Travis Elliot. From 15th, Shane Morgan climbed to eighth with Jacob Lucas and Kyle Amerson making up the top-ten.
Up next for the Griffith Truck and Equipment ASCS Gulf South Region presented by Southern Trailer Works will be the Heart O’ Texas Speedway in Waco, Texas on July 22 and Cotton Bowl Speedway in Paige, Texas on July 23.
The Lucas Oil ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints return to competition on Friday, June 24 at Moulton Speedway in Moulton, Ala. and Fort Payne Speedway in Fort Payne, Ala.
