LOXLEY, Ala. (October 28, 2023) Wrapping up two nights of racing with the ASCS Hurricane Area Super Sprints on Saturday night at Deep South Speedway’s Halloween Havoc, the tour’s final checkered flag of the season went to Tennessee’s Sammy Swindell in the Dale Howard Racing No. 47s.
Sammy’s fifth overall win of the season, and third in ASCS Regional competition, the victory is his first with the ASCS Hurricane Tour.
Taking off from sixth, Sammy battled his way to the lead over Dewayne White on Lap 7. Red on Lap 11, the pause did little to slow the wily veteran, who pulled away to a 3.609-second lead at the drop of the checkered flag. Winning Friday night’s preliminary feature, Zane DeVault charged through the field from 11th to claim second. Koty Adams moved up two spots to claim third, with Dewayne White ending up fourth. Ohio’s Max Stambaugh completed the top-five.
Moving up seven spots, Dale Howard crossed sixth, followed by Chase Howard in seventh. Brandon Blenden, Shane Morgan, and Butch David made up the top-ten.
Saturday’s field had 32 drivers on hand. Special thanks to Taylor Howard for the Facebook Live during the A-Feature.
With the season in the books, Mississippi’s Brandon Blenden earned the 2023 tour championship. Work on the 2024 lineup of events is underway. Updates will be posted as they are made available.
