ROCK SPRINGS, Wy. (September 4, 2021) Able to fend off multiple challenges through Saturday’s 25-laps showdown at Sweetwater Speedway, Oregon’s Garen Linder made his way to Victory Lane against the Brodix ASCS Frontier Region.
Linder’s first win of the season, and third all-time against the Regional Tour, the No. 22 was hunted the entire race by Logan Forler. Keeping the No. 2L at bay through several restarts, Linder was not out of the woods until the checkered flag fell. Only 0.321-seconds ahead of Logan Forler, the Idaho racer held off eighth starting Tyler Driever. Montana’s Kory Wermling was fourth, with C.J. Thorne in fifth.
Austyn Gossel moved from 14th to sixth, followed by Ned Powers. Eighth went to Shad Petersen, with Randy Whitman and Channing Filler rounding out the top ten.
