KENNEDALE, Texas (April 23, 2022) Getting back to Victory Lane with the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating, Ft. Worth’s Jason Howell captured Saturday’s $3,000 top prize at Kennedale Speedway Park.
The second time since 2019 that Howell has graced Victory Lane with ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating, the No. 44 chased early on as Steven Shebester led at the start. Moving to second on Lap 8, Howell paced the bottom of the quarter-mile oval in a battle with Mason Smith. Swapping the position around the next lap, Howell secured second on Lap 10 and quickly began running down Shebester, who was racing top shelf around Kennedale.
Shooting to the lead off the fourth turn on Lap 14, caution lights greeted the field a couple of laps later.
Setting up a four-lap dash to the finish, Howell and Shebester were nearly bumper to bumper, with Jason holding off a last corner attempt by Shebester that saw the No. 23x miss it by 0.150-seconds. Justin Zimmerman moved up three spots to finish third, with Mason Smith and Paul White making up the top five.
Michelle Parson was sixth, followed by John Ricketts from 12th. Justin Melton followed from 13th, with 14th starting Neal Matuska in pursuit. Bryan Debrick from 16th made up the top ten.
The ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating races again on Friday, April 29, at Texana Raceway in Edna, Texas, and Saturday, April 20, at South Texas Race Ranch in Corpus Christi.
