ABILENE, Texas (April 9, 2022) Leading all but the opening lap on Saturday night at Abilene Speedway, Dalton Stevens topped the Dale Parson Memorial with the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating.

Stevens’ second career victory with the wingless tour, Saturday’s triumph was worth $4,000 and made him the sixth winner in as many events at the Texas quarter mile.

Trailing Keith Martin through the opening lap, the No. 99x captured the lead on the second revolution. Keeping pace from there, Stevens was pressured in the closing laps by Justin Zimmerman but would hold on to win by 0.495-seconds. Zimmerman crossed second, with Waco’s Chase Randall moving up from seventh to complete the night’s podium. Jason Howell was fourth, with Keith Martin ending up fifth.

Paul White made it to sixth, followed by Justin Melton. Eighth went to Jeremy Jonas, with Michelle Parson and Neal Matuska completing the top ten.

The ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating races again on Friday, April 29 at Texana Raceway (Edna, Texas), and Saturday, April 30 at South Texas Race Ranch (Corpus Christi, Texas).
