GILLETTE, Wy. (June 2, 2018) Charging through the field Saturday for his second win in as many nights with the Brodix ASCS Frontier Region, Canada’s Kelly Miller picked up the win Saturday night at Gillette Thunder Speedway.

Coming from eighth, Miller was the third driver to lead the way at Gillette.

Leading early on, Montana’s David Hoiness paced the first four laps before relinquishing the top-spot to Ned Powers. Suffering an engine failure under the bonnet of his No. 0 machine, Miller took over the lead on the ninth revolution.

Making the trip from Green River, Wy., Zach Taylor finished second with South Dakota’s Eric Lutz finishing third from seventh. David Hoiness would end up fourth with Wyoming’s Anthony Farnsworth rolling from 14th to fifth.

Mark Chisholm, Clint Anderson, T.J. Thorne, James Setters, and Cody Masse completed the top-ten.

The Brodix ASCS Frontier Region races next on Friday, June 8 at Gallatin Speedway in Belgrade, Mont. and Saturday, June 9 at Big Sky Speedway in Billings, Mont.
