Westbrook Sails To Lucas Oil ASCS Win At Caney Valley Speedway
By Bryan Hulbert (Caney, KS) -- Winning a nail-biter of a race at Caney Valley Speedway, Dylan Westbrook made the last race charge to the lead and held on through slower traffic on the closing lap to win his second A-Feature of the season with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network.
“Everyone back home watching. You know Miles [Hill], I can’t thank him enough, along with the entire Hill family. Everyone who puts money into this team,” commented Westbrook in Victory Lane. “Early on, I just tried to figure out where I needed to be. We found the top of one and two really before everyone else.”
The fourth time that Westbrook has wheeled the Hills Racing Team No. 47x into Victory Lane with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series, the win comes 364 days after his first career victory during Speedweek at Caney Valley Speedway.
Taking off third, Dylan rode fourth through the opening seven laps. Caution working Lap 8, the field reverted back to the seven revolution with Dylan chasing Tim Crawley, Blake Hahn, and Wayne Johnson.
Race for the lead on the restart, Hahn took the point from Crawley. Working the protect the low line in the first turn, the two made contact with Hahn going around. Keeping the car rolling, Hahn kept rolling in fifth.
Putting Johnson and Westbrook in the hunt, the No. 2c and No. 47x began swapping the runner-up spot. Taking the spot on Lap 12, Dylan put the TrueNorth.bet machine to the cushion and began reeling in the Ronnie Pitts Motorsports No. 1x.
Getting the run on Crawley through Lap 14, the move for the lead came the following time around.
Breathing room to the final two laps, a close call in traffic saw Dylan tap tires with Casey Wills off the second turn. Putting Crawley right back in the mix with Johnson chasing, the three were nearly nose to tail at the white flag, with Crawley nearly able to shoot under for the lead.
Able to fend off the challenge, Crawley gave it one last shot off the final turn but would have to settle for second. Wayne Johnson crossed third, with Matt Covington and Blake Hahn completing the top five.
Dale Howard picked up three spots to finish sixth, with Brandon Anderson seventh from 11th. Kyler Johnson crossed eighth, followed by Landon Crawley in ninth. Hard-charging from 21st, Landon Britt made up the top ten.
The 24-car field broke down into a trio of SCE Gaskets Heat Races, with wins going to Jordon Mallett, Blake Hahn, and Matt Covington. Breaking the 2020 track record held by Riley Goodno (12.965), Wayne Johnson set the new mark at 11.808-seconds.
