CALIFORNIA, Mo. (July 1, 2018) Taking on Double X Speedway to cap off the three-night Red, White, and Blue Tour, Nixa’s Kyle Bellm bested a field of 21 for a Sunday night prize of $1,776 with the Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region presented by Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps.
Bellm’s second ASCS Warrior Region win at the quarter-mile oval this season, the triumph brings his overall win total with the Missouri based Sprint Car series to six.
Battling close with Tyler Blank, the Blanks Backhoe No. 75 hit the line first for 17 laps. Working through traffic on Lap 18 however, the advantage would swing to Bellm’s Greenworks Nursery No. 14k with Kyle leading the remainder of the A-Feature.
Tyler Blank would have to settle for second with Tony Bruce, Jr. advancing to the final podium step with Evan Martin crossing fourth. Completing the top-five, Miles Paulus picked his second $200 pre-paid Visa Gift Card of the weekend from Valley Park Retirement Living and Chad Griggs as the night’s Hard Charger.
Cody Baker sixth had Mathew Howard following with Ayrton Gennetten eighth and Ben Brown in ninth. Slowing to a stop while working Lap 8, Jonathan Cornell came back from the tail to complete the top-ten.
