Bryan Hulbert – HIGHLANDS, Texas (June 16, 2018) Returning to Battleground Speedway 10 months after nearly being destroyed by Hurricane Harvey, the Griffith Truck and Equipment ASCS Gulf South Region added another name to the list of winners with Louisiana’s Koty Adams getting the job done.
The second career ASCS victory for Adams, his last win came on September 7, 2012, with the ASCS Lone Star Region at Texarkana 67 Speedway.
Holding off several attempts at the lead by Channin Tankersley over the final three laps, Adams is the 62nd driver to score a win with the ASCS Gulf South Region and the fourth different winner in just as many events on the 2018 season.
Tankersley in second was followed by Caleb Martin. Ray Allen Kulhanek and Dustin Gates made up the top-five. Tommy Bryant, Dale Wester, Larry Howery, Chris Sweeney, and Bruce Crockett made up the top-ten.
The Griffith Truck and Equipment ASCS Gulf South Region is back in action at Battleground Speedway on Saturday, June 30.
