Derek Hagar Pads Lucas Oil ASCS/SOS Lead With Duck River Raceway Park Victory
LEWISBURG, Tenn. (April 30, 2016) Mother Nature tried, but this time she was merciful as the Lucas Oil ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints debuted at the Duck River Raceway Park this past Saturday night.
Increasing his advantage in the 2016 driver standings with the Lucas Oil ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints, Arkansas’ Derek Hagar parked the DHR Suspension No. 9jr in Victory Lane for his first ASCS sanctioned victory of 2016 at the Tennessee oval.
The 15th different winner in overall ASCS competition in 2016, Hagar came from fifth to grab the win. Making it a pair of Marion, Arkansas drivers at the top of the A-Feature finish, Marshall Skinner crossed second. The win by Hagar dropped Skinner to a 49 point deficit in the 2016 standings. Completing the night’s podium was the Bobby Sparks Racing No. 91 of Steven Russell. Defending series champion, Michael Miller, and 12th starting Nick Snyder rounded out the top five.
Tennessee’s Morgan Turpen came from 17th to sixth with Jeff Willingham, Tristan Lee, Kyle Amerson, and Casey Hinds making up the top-ten.
The Lucas Oil ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints return to action on May 21 at the Southern Raceway in Milton, Fl. For continued updates on the Lucas Oil ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints, log onto http://www.ascsracing.com.
