Bryan Hulbert – CRANDALL, Texas (August 9, 2019) Wheeling the Ray Williams/City Vending No. 22x this past Friday night, Oklahoma’s Steven Shebester added his name to the record books with this first career victory with the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating at RPM Speedway.
Fifth the first in the opening Heat Race, Shebester drew the right of the third row for the A-Feature.
Up to third before a caution, and eventually a red working Lap 2, the No. 22x threaded the needle for the runner-up spot as Jason Howell shot by Stephen Smith for the lead. Trying the lower groove briefly the following lap, Shebester returned to the cushion with the pass for the point on through turns one and two with five laps complete.
Keeping pace through the remainder of the A-Feature, Shebester was chased to the line by Raven Culp, who worked to the runner-up spot from eighth. Jason Howell slipped back to third with Paul White fourth and Stephen Smith fifth.
Scott Evans was sixth, followed by Justin Zimmerman. Justin Fifield in tow was followed by Chase Parson with Gary Floyd making up nine spots to finish tenth.
The ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating moves from the short track to the legendary half-mile that is the Devil’s Bowl Speedway on Saturday, August 10 for the 4th annual Johnny Suggs Classic. Gates open at 6:00 P.M. with racing at 8:00 P.M. (CT).
