WACO, Texas (March 8, 2019) – Rare to see a first for Kevin Ramey, but Friday night at Heart O’ Texas Speedway’s Gordon Woolley Classic was just that as the pilot of the Iron Dome Motorsports entry snagged his first career victory with the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating over a field of 32 entries.
The 21st different winner with the series since it’s inception in 2015, Ramey was chased to the finish by Michael Day with Scott Evans, Justin Fifield, and Michelle Melton each advancing five positions to round out the top five.
Leading series race winner, Paul White, was the night’s Hard Charger with a run from 19th to sixth. Claud Estes crossed seventh with Jarrod Jennings eighth. Missouri’s Quinton Benson finished ninth with Kelly Lockey making up 10 positions to complete the top-ten.
The ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating is scheduled to hit the track again on Saturday, March 9. Gate opens at 5:00 P.M. with action at 7:00 P.M. (CT) and includes UMP Super Late Models, IMCA Southern Sport Mods, Factory Stocks, Bombers, Dwarf Cars, and UMP Hornets. Admission is $10 for adults and free for kids two years and younger.
