AMARILLO, Texas — Getting his second career victory with the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating, Wyatt Burks landed in victory lane at Route 66 Motor Speedway.
An impressive run for Burks, who has a combined six victories to his name in 2019, the Kansas ace had to best an impressive field of 41 drivers, which began promptly with an eighth to first run in the night’s opening heat race.
Starting sixth, Burks chased as the field worked into traffic. Choosing to roll the No. 11w around the bottom following a late-race caution was the correct choice as Burks was able to maneuver to the point and land the night’s $5,000 payday in the G.W. Elkins Memorial.
Colt Treharn was second with Justin Zimmerman picking up two spots to finish third. Zach Gossett had earned the pole but faded to finish fourth with Jason Howell making a run from 10th to finish fifth.
