GOLIAD, Texas (May 24, 2014) - In the Griffith Truck and Equipment ASCS Gulf South Region's first visit to the Shady Oaks Speedway, Blake Hahn raced to his third career win with the Gulf South arm of the ASCS Nation.
Gridding third, Hahn gave chase to Matt Covington the first half of the night's 25 lap A-Feature. Working to slower traffic, a bobble on the part of Covington was all that was needed for Hahn to slip to the race lead on Lap 13.
Travis Rilat climbed to second in the closing laps with Aaron Reutzel charging from tenth to grab the final podium step. Fighting a stumble in the engine, Matt Covington settled for fourth with Kolt Walker completing the top five.
Johnny Herrera from eighteenth crossed sixth with Brandon Berryman seventh from fifteenth. Klint Angelette, Tommy Bryant, and Ray Allen Kulhanek made up the top ten.
The Griffith Truck and Equipment Gulf South Region returns to action on Sunday, May 25 at the Golden Triangle Raceway Park in Beaumont, Texas. For news and updates on the American Sprint Car Series, log onto http://www.ascsracing.com.
