Crockett Sweeps Weekend With Sunset Triumph

Ben Deatherage - BANKS, Ore. (August 24, 2013) Roger Crockett took full advantage of his outside front row starting position to capture the lead on the opening lap and the entire distance to win his tenth American Sprint Car Series-Northwest Region feature of 2013.

The Medford, Oregon pilot was again able to negotiate lapped traffic and make some key passes to keep his SKS Racing/Al Parker Racing Engines/Champion Racing Oil #11 KPC while out in front. The “Banks Bullring” would keep the fans on their feet as several tight battles throughout the field.

The only caution would occur on lap seven to bunch the field up and would give everyone an opportunity to get a chance to get to overtake Crockett.

Crockett would propel himself back to the front as the green flag would drop and reestablish his large margin. As the green flag got longer and longer Reece Goetz would start to catch Crockett .

Goetz, from Snohomish, Washington in his Great Western Transport/Elma Lanes/Speedmart Inc. #9R Eagle, attempted to reel Crockett in but would run out of laps. In addition to it being his tenth win of 2013 with ASCS-Northwest Region it was Crockett’s third series win at SSP.

Reece Goetz would finish a respectable second followed by Henry Van Dam of Enumclaw, Washington in his Kovash Logging/Johansen Excavating #33V A.R.T. in third.

The balance of the top five would consist of Kyle Miller from Eugene, after starting twelfth, in the Hedge Carter owned Huddle Automotive Repair/Oregon West RV/Steelhouse Metal Roofing Supply #71 XXX in fourth and the Double R Powdercoating/BC Motorsports/Rocket Designs #10J XXX of Jake Waddell from Roseburg in fifth.

Earlier in the evening heat race winners were Garen Linder of Central Point in his Linder Powdercoating/Rodgers Racing Engines #22 KPC and Jake Waddell.

The ASCS-Northwest Region will take a few weeks off before they head into championship weekend at the Central Washington State Fair Raceway in Yakima, Washington. Those races will take place on Friday September 20th and Saturday the 21st. For more information be sure and log on to www.ascsnorthwest.com.
