– QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. (October 31, 2020) Capturing his fourth career victory with the San Tan Ford ASCS Desert Non-Wing Series, Dennis Gile utilized a mid-race caution for the race-winning pass at Arizona Speedway on Saturday night.
Rolling from seventh, Gile shot to the runner-up spot by the second lap. Chasing Stevie Sussex, the No. 12 had pulled the field by over three seconds before the caution on Lap 15 brought Dennis Gile into the mix with the No. 13 taking the point on Lap 18.
Steadily pulling away over the closing laps, Gile crossed the line with 2.273-seconds to spare. Making moves in the closing laps, Josh Castro made it to second with Stevie Sussex slipping to third. Dustin Burkhart and Bruce St. James completed the top five.
Joe Scheopner, Tyler Most, Jonas Reynolds, Shon Deskins, and Ryan Murphy made up the top ten.
The finale round of competition for the San Tan Ford ASCS Desert Non-Wing Series in 2020 will be during the Copper Classic on Friday, November 27, and Saturday, November 28 at Arizona Speedway. The event will also include the ASCS Southwest Region.
