Troy DeGaton Claims First Career ASCS Desert Non-Wing Win At Arizona Speedway

QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. (April 17, 2021) Becoming the 18th different winner with the San Tan Ford ASCS Desert Non-Wing Series on Saturday night, Troy DeGaton ran low through the field from seventh at Arizona Speedway.

Taking the point on Lap 14 from Bryan Ledbetter, Jr., the No. 39t pulled away by 2.079-seconds at the checkered flag. A.J. Hernandez worked to second on Lap 16, but his position would not stand as he was 20lbs light at the scales. Putting Ledbetter back to second, Joshua Shipley ended on the final podium step. Rick Shuman and Wayne Siddle made up the top five.

The next event for the San Tan Ford ASCS Desert Non-Wing Series will be Saturday, May 1, at Arizona Speedway.
