ELDON, Mo. (September 16, 2017)
With no time for crews to work the track as the ASCS Warrior A-Feature was moved to the front of the main event program, the track was slick all the way to the cushion as the green dropped with Danny Thoman taking off with the lead.
Keeping pace despite several cautions, Thoman was quickly joined by Cornell at the front of the field with the race going green just long enough for traffic to come into play as the No. 28 bolted to the race lead on Lap 15.
Holding Thoman at bay for his seventh triumph of the season with the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps, Danny would hold onto second for his best finish of the year.
Moving from ninth, Washington’s Seth Bergman made the final podium step with Kyle Bellm and Miles Paulus completing the top-five.
Having to rebound from the tail after an early caution, Tyler Blank raced through the field to sixth with Blake Hahn seventh. Bryan Grimes from 19th was eighth with Ayrton Gennetten and Jon Agan making up the top-ten.
The Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps will bring the 2017 season to a close this coming weekend with the 7th annual Hockett/McMillin Memorial at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo. on September 21-23. The $10,000 to win affair is co-sanctioned with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network.
