The debut trip for the Lucas Oil ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints to the Crossville Speedway, the history pages show the one-third mile high-banked oval has seen ASCS action before. Dating back to July 3, 1998, the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network held one event at the Tennessee oval. The race was won by Tony Wilson of Paris, Tennessee with Phil Gressman and Danny Wood making up the podium.
For Duck River Raceway Park, Saturday’s trip to the second of the season as Derek Hagar topped the field on April 30 ahead of Marshall Skinner and Steven Russell.
Down to the final three events, including this weekend’s Tennessee double, Michael Miller continues his march towards back-to-back Lucas Oil ASCS/SOS championships, holding a 64 point advantage over Kyle Amerson, who picked up his first win with the series this past weekend in the rain shortened Emerald Coast Nationals at Florida’s Southern Raceway.
Following a 13th place performance this past weekend, Shane Morgan, who has slipped to third in tour standings, now trails by 100 markers with Joey Schmidt and Tristan Lee making up the top-five.
