ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints Ready for Deep South Showdown

Rounds seven and eight on the 2017 season, this weekend’s visit to the Alabama oval is the second appearance of the year for the Lucas Oil ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints. In the season’s first trip on March 11, Andy McElhannon, who started 12th on the grid, was awarded the night’s victory.

Going into this weekend, seven nights have been contested in Lucas Oil ASCS/SOS competition at Deep South Speedway. Tennessee’s Terry Gray picked up the inaugural win on April 6, 2013. In seven events, six drivers have found Victory Lane. Shane Morgan is the only repeat winner thus far with triumphs on September 7, 2013 and July 22, 2016.

Coming off an impressive sweep of the King of the Wings at Jackson Motor Speedway in Byram, Miss. the FSR No. 23b of Brian Bell has taken over the top spot with the Lucas Oil ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints. Bell has been on a roll just about anywhere he unloads with another win coming early this season in weekly action at Little Rock’s I-30 Speedway on March 18.

Michael Miller holds second with Lane Whittington in a close third. Derek Hagar holds forth in tour standings with Kyle Amerson making up the top-five. Nick Snyder, Tristan Lee, Brandon Blenden, Shane Morgan, and Terry McCarl make up the top-ten in driver standings.
