Anderson Aces ASCS Midwest at Crawford County!
by: Lonnie Wheatley
DENISON, IA (July 22, 2011) – Racing just 20 minutes from his Charter Oak,
IA, home, Ryan Anderson picked off his first career American Sprint Car
Series win by topping Friday night’s 25-lap Speedway Motors ASCS Midwest
main event at Crawford County Speedway.
Anderson assumed
the point on the sixth round atop the 5/8-mile clay oval and kept Nebraska’s
Jack Dover at bay the rest of the way to secure the win aboard his No. 71r
entry.
While Anderson
started the feature outside row three, Brian Brown jumped into the early
lead ahead of pole starter Dover. Anderson blitzed from sixth to third on
the opening circuit and challenged Brown for the point on the fifth round
before Brown lost power a lap later.
After the track was
cleared for a Skyler Prochaska flip that occurred at the same time that
Brown slowed, Anderson paced the rest of the way with Dover settling for
runner-up honors.
Gregg Bakker
slipped around Lee Grosz for third on the ninth circuit and held the
position the rest of the way with Grosz and Bryan Gossel rounding out the
top five.
Brown and Billy
Alley topped heat race action. Alley was an early casualty in the feature,
pulling pitside before a lap five restart.
