West Memphis, AR – August 22, 2020 – 2013 USCS National Champion Derek Hagar won the 30 – lap USCS Rumble at the River at Riverside International Speedway on Saturday night after a last lap pass of race-leader Howard Moore. Cody Gardner crosed in the runner-up spot, Brad Bowden got the final podium spot, Rookie Hayden Martin charged from twelfth to forth at the checkers, and past series Champion Marshall Skinner completed the top five after an eleventh place start.

Carson Short rallied back from an early race spin finished sixth followed by 12-time Champion, Terry Gray in seventh, twice series Titleist Morgan Turpen in eighth, Blake Jenkins in ninth and Ronny Howard rounded out the top ten.

Moore was credited with a sixteenth place finished after limping toward the finish line with a damaged race car after contacting the turn two wall during trading a series of wild slide jobs with Hagar over the final three laps as the exciting duo put on one of the most thrilling shows in recent memory at the historic track.

USCS Mid-South Thunder regional series points leader, Dale Howard kicked off the action by winning the Hoosier Speed Dash. Then Rick Kahler, Cody Gardner, Carson Short and Howard Moore won heat races.

Rookie Landon Crawley won the first B-Main and Brandon Lovelace won the second one to complete the preliminary events.

The USCS returns to Riverside on October 9th and 10th for the famed USCS Flip Flop 50 event.
