Tankersley Wins ASCS Lone Star/Mid-South Showdown at Dirt on the Rev
MONROE, La. (May 8, 2021) Rare to call Channin Tankersley a first time winner, but that was the case on Saturday as the Griffith Truck and Equipment No. 17 made it to Victory Lane for the first time against the ASCS Lone Star and ASCS Mid-South Regions at Dirt on the Rev.
The 31st time the Highlands, Texas driver has topped an ASCS Regional event, Tankersley’s win came over Louisiana’s Dustin Gates while Tim Crawley completed the night’s podium. Jeremy Middleton and Casey Burkham made up the top five.
From 16th, Cody Gardner made it to sixth with Joey Schmidt seventh. Landon Crawley was eighth, followed by Joseph Miller and Paxton Gregory to complete the top ten.
The 2021 season is the 30th year of competition for the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network.
