Maeschen Masters ASCS Challenge at Crawford County
by: Lonnie Wheatley
DENISON, Iowa (July 31, 2009) – Bronson Maeschen snared his first career
American Sprint Car Series feature win by topping Friday night's 25-lap
Midwest vs. Northern Plains Regional Challenge feature atop the 5/8-mile
Crawford County Speedway.
After sliding up to the first starting position after scheduled pole starter
Kaley Gharst coasted to a stop with race-ending woes on the pace lap,
Maeschen gunned into the lead at the outset and led all the way to claim the
victory.
Maeschen was chased to the line by Jack Dover, who took advantage of a late
caution that set up a green-white-checkered run to take runner-up honors
away from Rager Phillips. Phillips settled for show honors with Chad Meyer
in fourth.
Jason Danley, also atop the ASCS Midwest point charts, put the clamps on the
ASCS Northern Plains title by rounding out the top five, with 13th-starter
Brad Foster, Ryan Anderson, Chad Humston, Dave Glennon and Casey
Friedrichsen completing the top ten.
Phillips and Dover topped Friday night's heat races.
